You will need 2 jacks. 1. Jack up the rear body on the side you are working on and remove the wheel. 2. Place a jack underneath the rear axle to support it. (you will find a screw type jack helpful - I needed to raise and lower the axle to get pressure on the rod and to get the nut on. 3. Get a wrench (14mm normally) that will be long enough to reach the shock nut between the frame and the body. 4. With the wrench attached to the nut, twist the boot of the shock counterclockwise. Hold the wrench so the nut is broken loose. 5. If the boot just spins, you will have to cut a portion of it off to access the push rod. You will then need channel locks or vise grips to twist it. (Note, a ratcheting wrench is helpful, but not necessary.) 6. Once you get the top off, the rest is easy. 7. I found that a little masking tape to hold the bushing and washer into position when reinstalling the new shock handy. 8 Good luck, wish I could say the job is fun, but to be honest, its pretty brutal. Be sure you have a lot of space where you can throw tools. :-)
