So am removing rear shock to get refurbed. Lower arms to be tightly stuck in place after bolt removal - any tips or ideas to release it?

Lower Arms??

Of the shock where it slips over the bushing you mean ??

Taking that it is up on the centre stand Rear wheel in place Top bolt in

You could try pouring boiling water over the "Yoke" as it is and then press down on the rear wheel

Heat will expand alloy to "loosen" things a bit

Rear wheel fitted will stop excessive drop once it departs the shock

IF like mine you have a 3 or 4 inch gap under the wheel ?? Put a bit of wood in there to limit travel to a couple of inches!
