Top man. :)

you have one at the top which you will need a torxs bit in the centre to stop the shock moving while you undo it
then need to undo a multispline bolt at the bottom of the shock (need special bit for that)
will need to undo the drop link and move brake lines out the way.
thats all the bolts you need to remove then hit the hub down and the shock will fall out.

on drivers side i undid the 3 bolts to release the ball joint so you have more movement to get the shock out as drive shaft will hit the chassis and not drop the hub enough

on the back you undo the one boolt at the bottom of the shock pull axle down and swap springs over


thats a quick guide lol

Any idea what torx bit it is and what is the 'special bit' for the multispline bolt?

Thanks again, really appreciate it. :)
