Hi Don,
The best way is to take the shocks off. The rears come out pretty
easily with no need to disassemble any part of the suspension just 2
bolts holding the shock on plus a nut on the link. For the fronts you
can place a jackstand under the A-arm so that the suspension is
compressed and then remove the top trunnion pinch bolt and through bolt,
then the three bolts holding the shock to the car body. You do not have
to disassemble any part of the lower front suspension. I think it's
pretty much impossible to do it properly on the car.
Regards,
Peter S.
