Just a guess: rent one of those spring compression tools to get the shaft through.

Default Agreed. I posted a thread further down asking for some price quotes.

Default What kit are you installing?
There should be no problem. The shaft should extend into the hole. I installed a KWv2 on mine without issue. Try pulling the shaft out to its maximum also.

Default for the rear:
the piston rod should just slide through the KW bumpstop and into that collar. Did KW provide a bolt? IIRC, aftermarket pistons and OE require different bolts.
