Shock assembly tips: Attach/remove shock eye, without damage. Don't copy THAT guy!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
How to attach, or remove the shock "eye" to/from the shaft when assembling or disassembling oil-filled shock absorbers. It is critical that the shock shafts are not damaged, during these processes!

Very simple application, for basic/new hobbyists. Seasoned veterans will know this already and/or have the specialist tools for the job.

There are several methods, people use all sorts, but these are two of the easiest and quickest methods; great for beginners!

PLEASE READ
Once again, Apologies for the grainy/blurry image. The camera is full HD, but it doesn't seem to be good indoors and/or with poor-to-mid light conditions. We will be investing in a Go Pro camera, at some point, for this kind of video.

I always used a chunky rubber band over the years, you have to squeeze inordinately hard for the pliers to bottom out and damage the shaft plus the rubber band adds extra grip and wont allow the shaft to rotate. Rubber bands are easy on, easy off, and leave no residue nor do they risk slipping like paper towel.

Cool channel mate, hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Peace from Australia :)
