I am replacing my stock shock :roll: with the Ohlins YA707....but am having trouble understanding how the top bolt is removed. I'm using both the service manual as well as the FJR Tech article on installing the Ohlins, but they make no particular reference to the top bolt other than saying to "loosen and remove". I have gained access to the nut, but the head is obstructed by what I'm guessing might be the innards of the ABS system. None of my references talk about the need to remove that...plus its downright scarey.....

What am I missing on getting the top-bolt removed??

Nick, gently pry the ABS/block over far enough to get your socket on the bolt/nut.
