at the end of the month i should be ordering harder springs + uprated shocks

had a flick through the guides and fo the rear i take it i just unbolt the top and bottom of the shock remove the drive shaft? and just place the new one in?

the fronts as easy? unbolt top and bottom remove and replace?
or do i need a big spanner to get the shock out its housing? (i havnt had a proper look)

You need a big spanner for the front, once you get the spring off theres a big bolt, about 50mm or more that secures the shock absorber insert, or original oil shock, you never know till you get it off. I ordered a plumers type adjustable spanner from ebay for the Job.

The back shocks come out very easyly. Just 2 bolts. I have to recoment ClassicSwede for uprated replacement parts. I think I have all the poly bushes He makes. I also have 3" front lowering springs.

I found it best to detatch the driveshafts at the hub end to get the room to change to longer bolts (for my lowering blocks). Here's my original post.
