remove rear strut

compress spring

rachet lower perch to desired setting

decompress spring

 

it can be a real pain to get the spring compressors into those tiny springs. Be careful

there are some special spring compressors that work really well on the small springs. not cheap though. I need to save up my pennys to get one.

 

oh and sometimes the struts are not actually adjustable. some come with a fixed lower pearch and some have the little notches. my 85 had it but the 87 did not.
