Quick! How to rotate front Koni shock??
Tomorrow is my last day at home (with tools) before I go back to school and I just realized that the front springs are not properly indexed into the rubber pad.
I figure I can fix the indexing by compressing the spring a little and just turning the spring.
But my adjustment window is facing backwards. I figured out a way to adjust it as is but it is a pain. Can I rotate the shock if i just compress the spring without taking everything apart?
Thanks

Good luck, that's probably the most tedious part of installing Konis.

I had a shop put my Konis/springs back together. And of course they are facing backwards. Its a lil harder to adjust but it can be done. Ive only been under there once anyway.
Edit: My spring compressors sucked so I wasnt screwin with it. But if yours work just compress the spring and turn.
