    I have a 2007 Gasgas EC300 Sachs shock disassembled for new oil (same shock as used on the Huskys). I would also like to clean out the compression adjuster since it is a little hard to turn but do not know how to remove it from the shock. I have removed the adjuster knob, but not sure what to do next.

    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Steve

    I just discovered that it unscrews. Use a pair of right angle needle nose pliers with points down in two of the 4 holes on the body of the compression adjuster valve. Rotate counter clockwise and it unscrews.
    Picklito and lankydoug like this.

    I think the Sachs shock is much better than it gets credit for. Glad you figured out that adjuster.
