Hi All,
After a real tough winter of riding my Trek has developed a little bit of play on its shock bushings,

Does anybody no the size i need as a replacement ?
Where can i purchase replacements ?
Do I need an extraction tool to remove the bushing, or once I have removed the shock will it just pop out ?
Cheers
Sladey
Assuming it's a Fox shock, Mojo will sell new bushings and top hats and they will probably know the size you need too. If they're top hat type, then the bit you can see in the photo will pop out (may need to twist and pull with mole grips or something). The bushing itself will need pushing through with a tool of some sort...probably. LBS should be able to do it for a few quid.
What shock is it on the bike?
I'm gonna guess it is a Fox shock.
If so you will need something like [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOX-SHOCK-BUSHING-TOOL-Fox-bush-tool-KaTec-bikes-/140587185644?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item20bba635ec ]THIS TOOL[/url] for removal, re-installation of the bushes.

If the top hats (metal mountings) for the shock are worn you should look at replacing these as well, most good suspension tuning/repair places should be able to sort you out with them - Mojo, TFTuned, LoCo etc
Thanks a lot for all the advice guys
