i can kinda walk you threw it to the best of my knowledge step by step

1.remove wheels...
2.remove tie rod end(take pin out the castle nut and break it loose,and gently pry on the tie rod and hit the side of the ball joint to help get it out .
3.break the lower control arm same process as before get the pin out break castle nut and ball joint ect.
4.remove the two top hat nuts on the shock tower
5.gently swing the rotor,calipar ect out the way,be careful not to rip the axle boot.
6.next slowly step down on the lower control arm to get the top hat studs out and wiggle the assembly out.
7.break the bolt at the bottom of the strut assembly at the end of the fork 17mm i think.


this is the front

next is the back....might be handy to have some PB blast..

1.remove wheels
2.spray and remove the bolts on the lca that are at the bottom of the drum by the trailing arm and one at the strut assembly then drop the assembly out of the rear shock towers...
3.hope this helps....by the way your gonna need a spring compressor to get the strut and spring apart.

Have someone put downward pressure on the rotor while you slide it out. Be sure to loosen or remove the bolt that holds the shock to the fork.
