shock wont fit

[ridesblue]

i got a deal on an elka shock from a friend for my sons crf50 but the spring is a little to wide to fit thru the frame. ive been told that you can bend the frame or dremel it to allow for more clearence, i only need maybe 1/4 of an inch. im not sure about dremeling are these frames solid or hollow. any hints on the best way to do this would be appreciated, im not really a all that experienced at metal working.

thanks in advance

i hade the same problem with my shock, all you have to do is beat the hell out of the bottom part of the sub frame on both sides with a hammer till you get the clearence you need. it takes a while since you dont have that much room to get in there with the hammer but it will eventually takes shape.
