If you're still using the original Guzzi shocks I wouldn't even try to
repair them. They're crap when new, after 30 years.........?

Chris,
If the eldo shocks are like the Ambo's...compress the spring and the
bottom adjuster has two slots. Push the adjuster upwards and turn to
line up the slots w the bumps ( on the bottom part of the shock...can't
see them because they are hidden under the adjuster) and slide the
adjuster down. Ther're no nuts on the top of the shocks...On the Ambo
shocks...
Otherwise, the shocks may be attached up top. BTW I made my own spring
compressor....welded some steel and bent a 1/2 inch threaded rod. put a
nut on the rod and tightened it to compress the spring. simplified
explanation.
Good luck.

How do you get the rear shocks apart? I want to repaint and clean mine.
