OEM honda shock spring replacement.
I have a 2005 Honda Gl1800 with a Lehman Monarch 2 trike kit.
My tires were rubbing my fenders going over bumps with 2 up.
I have done a ton of research on here and have purchased the updated spring for the Bike part of the trike.
My pump doesn't start till 12. So I've lost half of the support that is needed.
I asked the dealer what it would cost and take to do this. $3000. They said they would have to not only take the tupperware off, including the gas tank and also the Trike fenders, trunk, etc as a whole.
I looked and can take the Actuator off and also the shock from the bottom side, but I cant get them out as a unit. Meaning the hose would have to be taken off the actuator and fed under the tank and pulled out with the shock from the bottom side.
Is there a reason that I can't take the hose off the Actuator and pull it out with the shock.
Is oil going to run out?
Can I refill with new oil?
Happy New Year and thanks in advance for any help.
I found this info. Just wondering if anybody else has done this.

Has anybody else done this?
Thanks for help. Greatly appreciated
This is my first and probably last trike.
Since I have to take the top shelter off and the gas tank, any advice on what else to change while im in there?
Thank you all for the advice.
I really love riding this trike. Its new to me and showroom clean even though it's a 2005 with 5000 miles. It's kinda like my new baby. But when I feel that the Dealer is trying to rip me off, I put my trust in my gut and set out to find out as much as i can and then make the decision whether to seek another dealer 200 miles away or do it myself. I'm leaning doing it myself.
For future reference, do any of you know of a video or explicit how-to instruction on how to remove to trike body. Leyman Monarch II
