Now, I'm going to take a 22 millimeter socket. Take these lug nuts off. I'm going to take this wheel off. Now, I need to support the rear axle, and I'm just going to use a screw jack. Just take some of the load off of the shock. That should be good right there. Now, I'm going to use a 21-millimeter wrench, and hold the bolt on the lower shock. And then use a 21-millimeter socket, loosen the nut up, and take that nut off. And take that nut off. Then I'll take a punch and a hammer, and just punch the bolt out.
If you have to adjust the tension on the screw jack, pull that out. Make sure that's loose. Now, I want to get this top bolt out and the nut, and I'm going to use a 21-millimeter socket, an extension, and from the backside, I'm going to hold the bolt. And on this side, use a 21-millimeter socket. Take th\ nut off. Slide the bolt out, and grab it from the inside. And you should be able to slide the shock out. If you have to, you can use a pry bar. Just pry this out, and there we go. Slide the shock in position, and get the bolts in from the backside. And just slide the nut on.
Before I tighten the upper bolt, install the lower bolt. You have to adjust the screw jack and get that nut started. Now, I'm going to torque this to 70-foot pounds. And torque this one to 70 as well. Now, I can lower the screw jack and set it aside. We'll take the wheel. Put the wheel back on. Put the lug nuts back on. I'm going to tighten these lug nuts to 140-foot pounds in a cross pattern or star pattern so that it tightens the wheel down evenly. All right, and I'll just go around again. Double-check. Good.

I'm going to use a 22-millimeter socket. Take off the lug nuts, so we can remove the wheel. Now, remove the wheel. Now, I'm going to support the lower control arm with a jack stand. You could also use a floor jack just to take the tension off the suspension. That's good. The top of the shock is pretty rusty, so I'm just going to use some rust penetrant. Let it soak for a little bit. I'll take a 15-millimeter wrench. Slide it over the nut. Just try to break it free first. There we go.
At some point, as you're loosening this nut, the whole shaft of the shock is going to spin, so I'm going to use some large pliers, and just hold it from spinning right here. You could also get some locking pliers, and attach it to the top of the shaft, and just keep loosening the nut. All right. And take that nut off, and slide the top off. Now, I'll use a 21-millimeter socket and a 21-millimeter wrench on the backside of the bolt at the lower shock, and take the nut off. And slide the bolt out. Just support the shock, so it doesn't fall. Slide it up, and you should be able to slide it up. And take this nut off, and take the top washer and bushing off, and slide the shock through. Get it lined up, up top, and get it in position down here, and then slide the bolts on.
Take the nut. Put them on. We're just going to keep this lower bolt loose, and we'll put the top together first because it'll make it easier to install, and then we'll tighten this up afterwards. Now, take this bushing and the washer, and put it over the shaft of the shock. Take the nut, put the nut on. Then you can take a 14-millimeter wrench, or a ratchet wrench, tighten that up, and if the stud starts to spin, or the shaft starts to spin, you can use a six millimeter wrench to hold it as you tighten this up. You can take a torque wrench, and tighten this down to 15 foot-pounds. That's good.
Tighten this up. Now, we'll torque this nut to 59 foot-pounds. Now, we can raise the vehicle. Now, put the tire back on, and the lug nuts. I'm going to torque the lug nuts to 140-foot pounds in a star pattern, or a cross pattern so that it tightens the wheel down evenly.
And just go around again. Double-check.
