very very very easy job to do.. with few spring clamps ...

just make sure u get wheel aligment once u finished..


Front undo top 3 nuts undo bottom bolt detach the break line from strut.
take the complete spring and strut out.. once piece...

then u can clamp the spring undo top plate take spring out new one in and then everything backwards... and same to the back.. back u have to take back seat out to get to top of strut..bit fiddily back ones at top.

please correct me if im off anyone

with the break line on some models the tab doesnt come out. u might have to grind part of the tab away and bend it open then bend it back to lock it back in

and sorry on bottom strut there is two bolts but u get the idea
