Shock question

[kitsbeach]

Question about how you get the little extra piece out of the bottom shock bushing (see pic)?



I'm using porterbuilt a-arms and shock mount up front, and no limit shock mount and panhard etc in the rear. Both companies use different shock suppliers for their set-ups so I had to dig around and find someone who made front and back shocks that would fit mine.

The fronts to fit the porterbuilt front are from a toyota pickup and the plain Excel-G KYB's came without the thingy through the bottom shock mount. But I ordered the KYB gas-a-just for the same model and they came with this thing through the mount (which I don't need).

Here is a picture of the Excel-G without the thingy:



Any help would be appreciated.
