A Model Shocks
Can anyone out there tell me how in the world you take a part a 1930 Model A ford shock. I drove the two pins out and took off the outer case a locking ring. Even took one to the machine shop and they could not get it apart. I'm sure it's something simple but we could not figure it out.

Re: A Model Shocks
A search will find a wealth of info on the old shock rebuilding.

Re: A Model Shocks
You need some heavy duty tools and heat.
I assume it's the inner nut that is stuck. The top tool is the one I made for that. |

Re: A Model Shocks
You need a 1 9/16 deep impact socket and a 3/4" air impact. Securely mount the shock and run it. On shocks that are not rusty the impact will get it apart. A few may need the outside heat cycled to about 300 degrees a couple of times. Then it hit it with the impact.
Kind of a real short answer. I need to do a better write up at some point. There are a lot of little details that get you a good finished shock. |
