Easy just do one side at a time it's only held on with a bolt at the bottom and a nut at the top. 5 minute job.

Here it is.

I may get shafted for copying this but here it goes.

Lol :rasp:


Have had these photo lying around for a while. Simple task to change these but a few pictures might help a few more.

Required:
Jack
Axle stands
17 & 18 Spanner
New dampers

Jack the car up and put on axle stands

Open bottom bolt with 18 spanner (blue mark on it here)

Remove top mount cover and take off nut with 17 spanner

Old damper will fall out. Line up new damper, insert and tighten it all up.

Done.

You may need a small adjustable spanner/vice grips to dtop the shocker rod (chrome rod) turning when removing the top cap and nut.

You may need a small adjustable spanner/vice grips to use on the flats on the top of the shocker/damper rod (the chrome rod coming out shock absorber) turning when removing the top cap and nut.
