hold down on the spindle.

5)Remove the 18 mm upper control arm

nylon locking nut. use a socket to get it loose but once it is loose, you will need to use a pair of channel locks or a 18mm wrench to loosen it. Once the bolt is OFF, pop it off the upper control mount. BE CAREFUL it will but a sudden loosening of the spring

6)Remove the two 13 mm bolts that hold the bottom of the shock to the lower control arm

7)Simply slide the shock and spring assembly out. It is really easy this way and you do not need a spring compressor

Reassembly is pretty straightforward.

8)Cut your bumpstop (OPTIONAL)

9)Remove the dust cap

10) Install the new spring

11)pay attention to the black washer that sets down on the shock shaft. It has a bevel that faces down. and it should fit snugly into the white nylon sleeve

12)Slide the shock / spring assembly back in place.

13)Install the two 13 mm bolts in the bottom of the shock.

14)I used a small floor jack to push up on the bottom of the lower control arm

to help install the 18 mm nut on the upper control arm

ball joint.

15)Reinstall the ABS sensor

and two 10 mm bolts.

16)Reinstall the two nuts at the top of the shock and hook up the mag ride electrical connector. Make sure that nylon nut is 100% tight. This was a pain in the ass for me. If it is not tight, you will clunk over every bump.
