True, but it is likely that the factory considered this a dealer-serviced
item, not an owner-serviced item.

Subject: RE: Armstrongs (was: Rear Shock Kit)
That seems like a valid characterization. Consider that the B was
engineered with access to the rear shocks - presumably for routine
maintenance. They didn't put that hole and cap there for a
"non-maintenance" item!

This omission is the sort of thing I was talking about in the oil
discussion. As time went on, the BL management increasingly dealt with
engineering issues by sweeping them under the rug. If the marketing
folks
reported that the public's impression was that MGs required too much
maintenance, they just deleted maintenance items from the manual. Or at
least that is what it looks like...
