I used a die grinder and a carbide bit but I couldn't tell you the size it was just something I grabbed from the shop. I slotted it out to the edge mark of the bolt on the upper bolt hole it give you an idea of how far I went out.

A drill bit would make the job take quite a bit more time FYI since most of the shocks are thick DOM.

The die grinder was pneumatic but a dremel works as well its just slower. I wouldn't use a drill only because it'll take a really long time.

If you look at his picture the only thing you actually need is the silver piece it pops right off the mount that silver piece is the actual bearing the black piece is the spring support which isn't be needed.

Ok so take the "silver piece" press it into the red top plate provided by megan put the stock black donut on and install? The thing confusing me was if we had to reuse the top oem black springplate or not
