Generally easy job, about 20 minutes for each side (unless the
trunion bolt is rusted in place).
Place a floor jack under the A-arn, directly under the coil
spring. Lift enough to get the tire off the floor. This unloads all
of the suspension joints except the A-arm inner pivot. Remove wheel
for access. Remove the upper trunion bolt and four nuts or bolts
holding the shock. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Note that with no engine in the car you may need someone to sit on
the front end to load the springs enough to get the top stops off of
the rubber snubbers.. If the trunnion bolt is badly stuck, get back
to us with the next question.
