Honestly, it's pretty straight forward... I thought that the work was pretty easy getting the spring and strut assembly out. You will need a spring compressor so when you take your top hats off the spring doesn't blast you (at least that's what someone told me). Also, if you have air tools you will cut the time of the job in half. I would recommend using an impact wrench to get the nut back on to screw top hat back on. I'll PM you my email if you need a hand I don't mind stopping over. Mind you I'm no mechanic, I just find doing the work myself better than paying someone else.
