just with standard socket wrenches but it snapped inside of the shock then fell out. so it was a mount problem.
to answer everyones questions. im not even bothering with sending it in to ishock. they will stick me over like everyone else
want to motard it now so i willl slap the stock shock back on

I'm no expert on anything but...,
I have the LE version and know this for a fact . Since these versions of shocks don't have spherical (sp?) or Hiem joint mounting points , it is very easy to over tighten the mounting bolts and bind up the movement of each end . And also if you'll notice that on some bikes , the shock points don't line up perfectly also causing it to bind up because of the non-spherical type of mounts these shocks have . I feel that these are 2 of the main reasons for this type of failure . Once I figured this out some years back , I run both bolts a tad loose so you can fell alittle clunk movement at each end . I also made sure to check these bolts for tightness on a regular basis so it wouldn't fall apart as I rode the bike .
If you'll notice as of recent , the newer I-shock line up has pretty much gott'n away from those collar type mounts .
My 2 cents again about this subject .
Oh and fyi - I recently bought the M1-A6 for my 110 and have had no issues as of yet .
