Cannondaleriders

You just get the quad off the ground so no pressure is on them then using one hand push down to expose snap ring. Then easiest way is to use a snap ring pliers and just get it out of groove then work way around with a screwdriver and the pliers.

I take the frond-end off the ground and remove the lower plate that holds the spring, then its very easy to re-locate the upper snap-ring. 60 seconds per shock
