OK I know what you can do.

Jack the shock back up and put the shock piston nut back on. Then lower the jack and remove the shock fork. Then remove your shock assembly.



Are you saying that while pushing down on the top of the rotor with your foot you still didn't have enough room to separate the shock and shock fork?
