no I did not, I was just trying to get to the top bolt. Buy I can see how that would pivot the shock down to git straight in. Will try that. Thx

Does anyone have info on the spanner wrenches needed to loosen and tighten the shock adjusters on a 2017 F3L? Where can they be purchased?
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Curious why you are removing the front shocks? Are you installing new aftermarket shocks? I have a spanner wrench that has a different spanner on each end and consequently is about 13" long and hard to get in there to make adjustment. I hadn't thought about removing the shock and putting in a vice and make one click/adjustment and reinstall it. Did you leave wheels on or remove them?
