Budget for some extra time, have a big breaker bar ready for the front, and
some patience for the right rear..... Those shocks must be held my something
to keep them compressed. My ES9000's had a metal wire to hold them
compressed, and once I cut that, it was a job trying to compress them again
to fit, especially the fronts.... Also, don't forget the locktite.....
