A lot easier than pads but more expensive. I think dealer had it for $230
- aftermarket with needle bearings was $280. Didn't shop any more. I put
the old one back on and it quit clunking.

Remove upper and lower bolts - (Access the lower bolt from the bottom. The
top bolt is visible from the top).
Slide the upper end off while compressing it, then slip off the lower end.
