| Undo the two bolts on the back of the hub, push the hub/bottom arm away from the bottom of the shock, then undo the top mount, remove and replace with the coilover. It's a really simple job if you just look at it first to get your head round it. Though saying that most of the nuts are a b***h to undo without an impact wrench. | |

| your all forgetting the important bit, before the coilies go on you MUST take the assister springs out and wind the adjuster as far down as you possibly can. | |
