Obviously he’s already done that if the assembly is out and he’s trying to put it back in...? I wasn’t going to be REDUNDANT and tell him the exact instructions that he had obviously already followed to remove the stock assembly. What the instructions don’t show you
@Adieu is the updated steps needed to take to remove the two bolts in questions before reinstalling. You either need to remove them or loosen the LCA bolt to let that have more downward movement.
Did you think he magically removed the shock and spring with the knuckle still attached? I’m sure he loosened everything the instructions called for to get the assembly out. Being that it's newer, instructions have not been updated showing the newer shock mounts.
