Removing rear Shox & springs help!

[Smokey]

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to remove the rear dampers and springs please?

Do i have to do anything special or is it just a matter of removing nuts n bolts and putting in new dampers or do i nee to compress the springs etc?

P.s this is quite urgent as my new suspension will be herein 15-20 mins and i will have 2 hours to do the whole job b4 i need to pick up Mrs lol

Thanks

Check out Ivans lowering guide in the members area!

You should be able to do it without compressors provided you jack it up high enough!

This the 172?

Undo the 4 shock bolts and jack the car up, the springs will fall out. Then do the reverse.

yeah as above, dont need spring compressors on the back... i need to do mine to check a couple of things coz the right hand side is sitting 1.5cm lower than the left and im very worried.
