did this a couple of days ago. It's very straight foreward. You may want to invest in a 21mm deep offset ring spanner to get the top mount bolt off. It sometimes can be done with a socket but it's a bit of a b*****d when the shock twists with it. Feels like something is going to break!
Deep offset spanners look like this

Spring clamps are a def pointer to watch out for ?

When compressing the springlways do it away from me and never work above it with top of shocker pointing to my face incase the spring clamps let it go
