HELP!! with shock install

[stevec9957]

Hey Bros, it's Noobe here for his weekly beating. I ordered a set of progressive 412 shocks for my Aero 750 and a cruzer exhaust. The exhaust was a piece of cake but the shock install is a major PITA, had to quit and turn to JD for relief. I've got the bike on a mc jack with the rear tire about an inch off the floor. The old shock came off easy enough but I can't get the new one lined up exactly with the eyelet lower mounting hole. It's a couple of millimeters off. I heard it was easy but not for me. WTF, please any help would be appreciated.

You need a bigger hammer! Do you need to go up or down? If up, let the bike down, if down I'd pry it with a 2x4 between the tire and fender, make sure you pad the fender so you don't hurt it!
Now you know the rest FONthatcan'tinstallasimplefuckin'bolton! WHERE'S THE PICS????

I used two jacks. Jack up the frame then jack up the swingarm until the eyes line up.

Oh, if you dont have two jacks, just use the jack from your car under the swingarm. Thats what I had to do.
