front shock doesnt fit right
i'm replacing the front driver side shock (bought an FCS brand full assembly)
anyway, i have it propped on the fork, and loosely screwed into the upper mounting bolts...
the problem is, i cant get the little "notch" on the fork to align with the "groove" on the shock!
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Re: front shock doesnt fit right
Knock the fork off the lower arm, install on shock. Use a lever to twist fork until bottom section of the strut is clocked right. Finish assembly.
