>From what I'm seeing, you yet to replace that whole rear cartridge, minus the springs. There is a tool to compress them; dunno if it is shown in the Clymer's, but I would be surprised if it weren't.

However, this morning as I was getting off my bike I heard a sound like air being sucked into something and at the same time the back of my bike went up an inch or so. I've seen threads about replacing front fork seals but not rear shocks. So a couple of questions: 1 - is it a rebuild like the front forks? 2 - will I need a spring compressor like you do for a car? 3 - I can do minor stuff but I'm not the most mechanically gifted - how hard is this to do? 4 - any manuals / instructions out there?
