Re: [ST] Hyperpro rear spring question

["Peter Kroeker" <peter.kroeker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rod.  I got in touch with Hyperpro USA and the guy already knew about 
the 519/705 issue.  My spring is on its way back and the 705 will be sent to 
me.  Hopefully case closed.
Is there any trick to disassembling the stock shock so the spring can be 
swapped?  I don't have a spring compressor so I'll have to take it to a 
shop.
Pete
