Well the rears are a simple jack the car up, lower the differential, and remove the old ones. Fronts are a little harder. You remove the whole assembly and pray that your nuts on top of the cups arent rusted like mine were. I just bought new mounting cups though. Yea you will need a compressor for the fronts but it isnt a real big job. Mine took me about 3 hours to do it all. Post up some pics when you get it finished

You forgot how fun removing the spindle from the UCA is.


Here's a couple write ups i found, first one is the one i read before doing my springs/shocks.
