Do you have air tools? The spring swap can be tricky.

when you put the new springs on and compress them, you'll have to secure the top here (i used an adjustable wrench) and use a crescent wrench to tighten the nut down (may need to do this when you disassemble as well)



the other tricky part is making sure the rubber mount aligns perfectly. it moves during reassembly too.



good luck
