First begin by lifting car off the ground, and securing with jackstands.
with the [parking brake on, put the jack under the rear wheel you are working on.... 1. undo the retaining nut, visible in the rear trunk. 2. Pull rubber mount and support and washer. 3. slowly lower jack until you are able to rotate the rear shock out toward the rear of the car. NOTE - if you have a rear sway bar, you must undo the droplinks to allow the trailing arm to lower enough., also, if engine is in the car, you would need to pull axles, or at least pull the bottom shock mount bolt) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269435.jpg) 4. undo lower rubber mount, simply unscrews from shaft. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269507.jpg) 5. pull complete spring assembly and top spring hat. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269451.jpg) 6. set ride height circlip to desired notch. in this case uppermost notch. 7. slide on threaded collar. make sure you order the right ones for your shock. use a set of vernier calipers to measure shock OD. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269461.jpg) slid all the way on and resting on circlip. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269470.jpg) 8.ziptie new springs to new upper spring hat. slide onto shaft of shock. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269507.jpg) 9. Put original washer/spacers on. then put lower rubber spring bushing back on. tighten. use allen wrench to hold shaft. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134269491.jpg) 10. tilt shock back into its opening. lift with jack, secure.
