do you guys know of any good place to buy shock spanner wrenches. found a couple of ebay but still looking. thanks.

 

Never had to buy one of those, Stendori.

 

My Scambler came with one. But my SP didn't. I'm not sure why, but mine gets passed around a LOT LOL.

 

depending on your rear shock, you can just grab that rear spring with both hands and turn it. this works best with the quad up on a jack, relieving the spring pressure, grab it and turn it to where you like.

Very true. That used to work on my old XC 700 sled. I found with the Atvs, you need to get ALL the mud out and sometimes it will turn, but the spanner is really the easy way.

Sten, maybe go to your dealer and DEMAND you want one LOL I think it should've came in the tool kit myself

 

all ready tried the hand method and even w/ a set of channle locks w/ it on the jack. didnt want to do too much damage. most likely if i pulled off the tires it would have worked but im lazy lol. thanks guys.

 

I tried to stiffen my rear shocks on the 700 with a spanner wrench that I got from a guy at work that has a Ranger. Jacked it up, took the tire off, and I still couldn't get the shock to adjust. It was pretty clean around the shock...dealer told me to bring it in and he would just tighten them up for me.

I have heard about using the channel locks, be careful not to bust the aluminum adjusting rings.

 

progressive suspension sells one that attaches to a standard ratchet i used to have one it worked decently well and didsn;t take up much trail tool space.
