I had good luck removing the old ones by bending them off sideways. As for
replacing them, it sucked. I lubed them up with white grease and ended up
bench pressing the back of the shell when pushing on the things; one of them
went right on, the other didn't. For the stubborn one, I ended up pushing
really hard and turning it, after a few tries it worked. For those who are
smart enough not to want to lift a car off of jackstands while under it, I
would go for the floor jack method.James Nazarian71 B tourer71 BGTV8 with

stopsAt some point you'll be putting new ones in right?Based on other past
posts I've read, installing new ones can be a real bear.One tip provided was to
use a floor (i.e. trolley) jack to force the newlubricated ones into
place.Mike'79B
