I have a new set of shocks I want install on my 88 Westy.

I read about disconnecting this and that and I worry if I can do this job
properly.

I need some enccouagement and suggestions frommthe list.  I will attempt to
do this but what should I be watching for?

Do I need the spring compressors for the front shocks ?  How difficult is it
to jack up the control arm ?

The bently says there is some kind of plug under the seats that has to be
removed... is that for older models... I can't recall seeing a plug, but its
been a lonf time sinse I looked... Maybe that was just to access the top of
the shock!

I know one list member has a web page with this procedure photographed.  If
anyone should have the URL, I'd appreciate it.
