FIRST JACK CAR UP AND REMOVE WHEEL. SUPPORT CAR WITH JACK STANDS AND PLACE FLOOR JACK UNDER REAR DIFFERENTIAL BOX IN THE BACK AND JACK UPWARDS ABOUT 10 INCHES. REMOVE SHOCK BOLTS AND NUTS. IF LOOSENING BOLTS PROVES DIFFICULT APPLY HEAT DIRECTLY TO BOLT USING A TORCH UNTIL BOLT TURNS RED AND LET COOL FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN REMOVE LOWER NUTS AND BOLTS.WHEN NUTS AND BOLTS ARE REMOVED RELEASE JACK PRESSURE AND REPEAT BOLT REMOVAL PROCESS FOR UPPER SHOCK NUT AND BOLT REMOVAL. PRY OUT OLD AND WORN SHOCKS AND REPLACE WITH NEW ONES, INSTALLING UPPER SHOCK BOLTS FIRST THEN ADJUST JACK SO THAT YOU CAN INSTALL LOWER BOLTS. WHEN BACK IS DONE DO FRONT THE SAME WAY EXCEPT THERE IS NO DIFFERENTIAL BOX SO YOU WILL HAVE TO JACK UP EACH ADDITIONAL FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY AND REPEAT STEPS BEING CAREFUL NOT TO PINCH ANY LINES. ***GOOD LUCK***
