I called Koni and they sent out another set of them 2-day air.  I just have
to send the blown ones back and they won't charge my credit card # I gave
them.

Yah, my old one's came a bit loose the same time my front end started
getting bouncy.....and they did use an impact gun.
I'll make sure to use the same gun they use on the big ass snow cats
here.....

Oh, what about the little extension on the bottom of the shock insert?  Is
there a cap there that I can pry off?  On the drawing it shows 2 gaps to
cut,  and I'm looking right now and it looks like it's a cap.....I don't
want to pry the thing off  only to realize that I have just snapped
something off with the new shock leaking everywhere!   =)
