Blaze shock adjustment
My friend just bought an 02' Blaze. we're trying to get the ride height down a little. as it sits its 9 1/2''.
How do you compress the front shocks enough to move the snap ring up a few grooves to get the front end down?
On my Custom Axis shocks you can pretty much just do it with your hands. I took all the preload out already but it still seems like it should be a little easier.

The easiest way is to first remove the shock. Turn it upside down and have 1 person compress the spring buy putting weight down on it pushing towards the normally top of the shock. Then have a 2nd person remove the retainer at the bottom. It just slides right out once pressure has been removed from it. Now adjust the retainer clip on the top of the shock to where ever you like. Now just put the shock back together.

Am I the only one in this motley crew that owns a shock spring compressor?

I thought the Blaze came with regular screw adjust and ressies.

The blaze shock is just like the moto shock only shorter.

real men do it the painfull way, besides if i did have one (I think i do have one for cars), by the time I found it I would have been able to change he springs the caveman way and had my wounds healed up in less time
