and an Adjustable wrench on the top part.

Well.. I got the bolt holder thing off.. now I can't get the ring off. AHHH!!! How the heck do you keep that threaded part from spinning while you are trying to get the ring off??
oh . now that part was a problem !! lol..
Push down on the spring if you can to take pressure off the ring.. if you can someone to help you out get them to spin the ring while you hold down on the spring and try to hold that chromed rod from spinning with it. It will go !!

Its caked with mud and grime, but a few hours and a fresh paint job, and she'll look like new.
I'm still wondering about this color scheme. Should I go with a red spring, a black adjuster, and the rest gray? Or a black spring, and the rest silver? Or a red spring and the rest black?
I'm leaning more towards the first one.. but I'm not sure if it would look good. Any suggestions?
I'm going for all black with red spring. the motor.. swingarm.. frame .. everything is black already. no silver to go with... so it's all black.. and Red spring.
I finally got my hands on the air tank.. gun, 3 bags of sand ( they wanted 50 $ for the glass stuff.. hell with thta ! ) and it's supposed to be 26 celcius tomorrow !!
Can't wait to get started !

I'll go to Lowes first.. they have reasonable prices.
Have you ever tore your SX completely apart?
I don't have TOO much experience with ATV's/engines.. but I want to tear my SX down to the frame, repaint everything, and put her all back together. I'm just afraid I'll screw something up.
Whenever you sandblast your shock parts, tell me what to watch out for and not to hit with the sandblaster, just so I don't mess something up.. lol.
I sandblasted my 250es shock then painted it a while back. I even blasted the plastic and painted it also. I then polished the top mount mickel plated the round nut and the adjuster. It came out great, looks new dont it?
