    Straight forward Sam.wheel off , shock out ( 3 bolts) undo the swingarm bolt and pull the threaded dowl out. Steady away allow an hour and you'll have plenty of time to spare

    You need a castle socket and a Allen key I have if you need the Allen key takes the pressure off the arm spacers

    Thanks guys, guy selling said he will change it for £35 at my house as he is not too far..saves me the hassle I guess.

    Castle socket...don't have that..

    But if it's just the matter of wheels and shock off..and some bolts..I could I guess save myself £35 :)

    Just waiting to know if he can change with bike on a bike lift..can it?
