Are most motorcycle shocks designed to be taken apart?
I've got a pair of old 1970's Honda CB360T shocks that are in amazing shape, except for a little rust. I'd love to take them apart and clean them up a bit for a project I'm working on, but I can't seem to detach the spring from the gas cyclinder, any ideas? I'm starting to wonder whether or not they are design as a single unit, not intended to be taken apart. Is it common for shocks to be designed in this way?
