Tools used
Okay, friends. One of the first things you need to do is safely raise and support your vehicle so your wheel's off the ground. Once you've done that, continue on by using a small pry bar or even a screwdriver. We're gonna find the area on this little plate. Then, we can remove it. You can see there's a little cutout, and that's all you do. Use your 21-millimeter socket, and remove all 6 lug nuts.
Now that we have the wheel off, we have a nice, clear view of our rear shock. You're gonna notice you have an upper bolt here with a nut on the backside, and then, of course, down on the lower end, you're gonna have a bolt with a nut as well. We need to remove both of those. Use your 18-millimeter wrench on the nut and then a 15-millimeter socket on the side with the bolt head. I've got the nut off of there now. At this point, I'm gonna leave the bolt in here. We're gonna move along to the bottom. Let's go ahead and get this bolt out of here. Now, we can remove the top as well by holding the shock. There it is, friends.
Now, we're gonna take our brand new shock, put it down on the floor right between our feet like this. Now you take the shock, you press down, and you can remove this white plastic piece. We'll get that right out of the way. Let this fully expand until it's completely expanded. After you've done that, go ahead and press it back down to the floor and let it come up three to five times. Now that you have your rear shock completely activated, meaning you charged it up by going up and down that three to five times like I said, we're gonna take our two bolts and, of course, the shock. We'll start it in along the top and then, of course, just let it hang down. So now, for the bottom bolt, we're gonna go from the inside and out towards the brakes. There we are. Start them on there. Then, we're gonna bottom this out, and then we'll torque them to manufacturer specifications.
Now, it's gonna be time to torque down our bolts. Normally, when I would torque these, I would try to torque the nut side down, but I don't have much space here, obviously. So, I'm gonna come from here, and then I'm gonna torque this bolt to 66 foot-pounds. Do the same to the lower. Now, it's time to get our wheel back up on here. We're gonna start on all of our lug nuts. We'll bottom them out, and then we'll torque them to 150 foot-pounds. Let's get these torqued to 150 foot-pounds. Now that we have them all torqued, it's important to make sure you get your cover back on there. There you are. Okay, take it for a road test.
