Installing a new rear shock?

[ruckrhyder2007]

can I get a how-to on installing a new rear shock, the whole thing not just replacing the spring. Thanks. PS. I own a 2007

i just attempted to do mine..the shock was wayy too big but it was free. i went for it and failed. but the process went something like this:

put Mr Ruckus on the center stand
take out the 3 bolts that hold the airbox on (10mm)
take off the seat frame (12mm) - unless you can get to the bolt for the top of the shock...i couldnt quite get to it
unbolt the bottom of the shock (12mm) - push the airbox out of the way, but you dont need to disconnect any of the hoses
unbolt top of shock (14mm)
then bolt the top of the new shock in
bolt the bottom back in - you may need to lift up the rear frame to get the bottom of the shock in its place. an extra set of hands would be wonderful
bolt the seat back on and the airbox
done.

Basically you unbolt the old shock and then bolt in the new one. The only other step is that you might want to loosen the airbox first for easier access.
