Open the hood and remove the top bolt from the shock tower. You will need a 15 mm deep socket and a wrench.

To keep the factory shock stroker from turning, use a 18 mm open box/end wrench.
If you are doing this alone you can have the open box/end wrench lean against the shock tower to keep it from turning.

First thing to do is remove the factory paint from the shocks threads. You can use a drill with a wire brush attach to the drill. Or can also use a wire brush with a handle for the manual folks.

A breaker bar or a pipe can be helpfull to remove the lower shock bolt. Carefull to not be near the area where dirt and crud can fall on your eyes.

The the OEM shocks wont come lose as you removed the bolt a jack can be place under the I-beam. Jack up the I-beam untill the tire is almost off the ground. Now you can wiggle the OEM shock out.

The right is the same for removal and installing. But its a little more difficult. Its harder to get any tools in there. Even with a crazy head socket.. I latter found this intresting opening on the right side looks a little wider.
