Remove 3 top nuts — shock absorber comes out completely. 6. Secure shock to workbench, install spring compressors and loosen top nut. 7.

Do wheel angles need adjustment after replacement?
Yes — have the wheel angles adjusted unless you can get the shock tower to exactly the same position as before. Mark the shock position on the tower before removal.
