On the rear, as pictured above, remove the rubber bushing piece if you haven't already. Slides right off. You see that collar just below the shocks threads? It should be slightly loose. It is the only thing that is keeping the black dust cover on. On the collar you should see a dimple. Use an appropriate size drill bit and drill out the dimple. After you have done that, the collar should slide off. You than can remove your dust cover, a washer type piece, and then your bump stop.
