Hey guys!

I plan on tackling the replacement of my fiance's Blazers shocks. These things have been wore sllaaaam out for awhile now, its like a boat when you hit a bump!

Anyways, what should i expect going into this? I looked at the rear shocks and they look to be easier than i expected, the front shocks however seem like they would be a bit of a challenge.

Any info you can give me to make this go smoothly, like nut sizes, parts, so forth. Please let me know!

Thanks!

 

Nothing?

 

Just buy a new set of shocks and put'em on... If you live somewhere where rust may be a problem then you may have to cut the bolts and replace them. But it should just be a matter of out with the old and in with the new.

 

Really? Wow i didnt figure it was going to be that easy.

I think i read that the bolts are 18mm, that right?

 

I believe the bolt heads and nuts do take a 18mm wrench.

 

Awesome!

Thanks for the confidence man! Ill post back after i get it done this weekend

 

Does anyone happen to know the torque specs for the front shocks?

 

Wow! Im surpirsed how easy that was!

Took from about 9:30 am till maybe 2:30, with a lunch in there :P

It was so smooth thou! I cant belive shops charge $400 plus to do this!

 

it was easy for you i was trying mine tonight and couldnt get anything on the top bolts on mine what tools did you use to get yours done?
