Need to fit new knucke joint ball foot and nylon cup.

Just checking, is it as simple as letting down the Hydro and then just lifting them out and popping in the new ones?

Cheers

You would think so, but getting the knuckle to withdraw far enough can be a real problem, especially if you aren't evacuating the system completely.

You will need to at the least remove the soft return bump stop beneath the upper arm, and if it doesn't give you enough, consider removing the top arm pivot pin to allow the arm to drop a little further.
