Italjet Mini Mini Bambino MM5a - Shock Repairs?? - Help

#1
Hi

Can anybody tell me how to take apart rear shocks on an Italjet mini mini bambino? I have four of these bikes that I am renovating, but all of the shocks are in a bad way with rust etc. and I want to re-chrome the springs but I cant get them apart.

I tried to get one set apart and have destroyed them as it looks like they are pressed together and cant be dismantled.

Anybody have any ideas?!!

Thanks

The bottom eyelet/banjo unscrews from the casing then you can access a nut inside that releases the rod and it all falls apart ....

Sorry, I can't help you with your problem but I was wandering if you could help me with a parts source? I am trying to restore mine as well, and really having a hard time finding parts for it. Specifically a kickstarter right now. Thanks.
