Default Front shocks

Hi there folks. I'm in the UK, and relatively new to Vette ownership (though I did own one of only two 4x4 Triumph Stags for 27 years first) - I have a black '57 in need of some TLC in some areas.
Current task on the agenda is replacement of the right front shock.
Any advice please on the easiest way to do it, preferably without completely dismantling the suspension?

Thanks :-)

The ST-12 Servicing Guide will help. Go to Section 3-7.
