Didn't get any pics of the process, hardest part was removing the core. Having to drill multiple holes to compress it and slide it out.

In the mean time, I've preloaded front fork springs by adding 3/8" thick nuts and replaced the oil with 15W.

Ordered an 98 CR250 rear shock because rear shock on the apollo is very hard and beats you up on long rough trails. Found another thread where a CR250 shock was used. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?p=210237

(I choose the 97-00 rear shock because it was a little shorter then 01-04)
New top mount will need to be fabricated either way, will post pictures of the process.

Hopefully someone can chime in on front forks replacements that fit.
