I'd be willing to help. You still want to do sidemarkers too? You working Monday?
I have never done the springs and struts, but I'm good at stuff like that and I have a floor jack and three jackstands.
email me at bigwalton@exite.com.

Antonio:
You're gonna need a drill motor, or 2 and a spring compressor, or two. I'd love to help, but value my life too much. Not gonna mess around with compressing and uncompressing 400+lb springs.
Have fun!!!!!! BE CAREFUL!!!!!

This is Jon, you were talking to me about it at the meet. It's a trying exercise assembling the rear struts inside the trunk but other than that the install/removal is pretty straight forward. The only other bad thing is the struts sit down in a little cup and after being in the car for so long they don't want to come out. I found using a flat head screw driver and a hammer works best to pry them out. Also use a can of liquid wrench per strut!
Best of luck on the install though.

Ed, what are the drill motors for? Anyone got a spring compressor?
Someone who's done this, post a bare bones how-to so I know what I'm getting into here.
Antonio, I might be out of town this weekend, I'll have to get back to you.

It is really simple, but time consuming to do.
Things you will need.
1. Spring Compressors
2. 18mm, 15mm, 10mm, 17mm sockets. {maybe a couple more
3. Crowbar - for lowering the ball joint on the front {can be pain in the butt}
4. A star socket {don't remember the technical name, but it is the shape of a star, and I don't remebber the size.
5. Phillips Head Screwdriver.
6. Small Sledge hammer or regular hammer.
I think that is all the tools you need.
I would write instructions, but I don't remember the technical names of each part and most of my directions would be to loosen this thingy and that bolt thing etc...
sorry guys.
