any tricks to replacing the rear shocks? anything I should watch for?
I'm pulling the KYBs and putting on Bils this weekend... are pre-loaded springs better than the shorter ones? |

Jack up the back, put a jackstand under the trailing arm... give it a couple inches of clearance so the shock/spring assembly will come out... Take off the nut on the bottom of the shock, use an impact wrench to take the one off the top... use a mallet or such to get the bottom bolt out of the way.. and bingo! all done.
ya.. you'll need a spring compressor.. and you'll hate it... |
