Remove wheel your working on
Undo the two bolts holding shock on

On rears: fit new shock, noteing that shock is correct way up. zip tie speedo cable to shock body on LHS, ensuring it has enough slack not to strech all the way through wishbones travel. tighten bolts. Clean wheel and hub faces. Grease faces with copper grease. re-fit wheel
On fronts: remove old shock. remove nuts holding old bracket. clean chassis where bracket sits. apply sealer to back of bracket (to prevent corrosion). re-fit bolts holding bracket. fit shock right way up. Clean wheel and hub faces. Grease faces with copper grease. re-fit wheel
Drop car back down.
Tighten bolts.
