Delta V2000 shock adjuster

[Guy Redshaw]

Hiya all!
I’ve just fitted a new rear shock to my delta V and I can’t shift the spring tension adjuster collar. Anyone got a tool for one of these that they’re willing to part with please? Thx!

Could you trace the nut onto cardboard? Measure the OD of the threaded part of the shock, draw that circle diameter on the cardboard with a compass, cut out the circle and the end of the cardboard so you can fit it over the shock, then trace the outside of the nut onto the cardboard. Pretty sure I could make a workable wrench from that, but it might take some additional filing on your part to get it to fit.

Thanx! I’ve got it moving after some oil and gentle loosening. I’ll try to get the ring off the old shock, which was even more seized, and that can be used as a template. Will report back. Thx.
