Yeah original plan was to swap the spring with the shock off. I only did this because back brake was sticking so split the calliper down and replaced the seals and gave everything a good old coat of red rubber grease. Flipped the calliper somthe bleed nipple is at the top and all seems good. So whilst the bike was in bits I thought I might as well get the shock off and do a spring swap. Then the blow torch came out. Now I’ve got a replacement Sachs shock that is absolutely mint from eBay (it looks like it’s never been out of a box let alone on a bike in the rain) because I was worried that the blow torch might kill the bush in the shock. I also have an evotech exhaust hanger for when it goes back together.
Vince can you help me on where to get the Öhlins spring and the part number I need. As luck has it I weigh the same as you in my riding gear 80kg so is from your previous post with the table is 01092-36 right?
