Greetings

First raise the front end and remove the front wheels. For access to the right side shock you have to loosen the coolant tank and position it out of the way. Then loosen (do not remove yet) the through bolt (bolt that is sideways through top of shock) and remove the other bolts and nuts securing the shock. Release the harness clip and remove the loosened through bolt. Compress the shock and move the shock and turret assembly from the engine bay so you can remove the shock from the turret.
