Default NEW SHOCKS ??????

I want to install a set of Delco Shocks this weekend for the front. What is the easiest way to do this? Will I need any special tools? The car is a '77 with a L-48 motor.

Thanks for your help.

Front shocks are very very easy. they are held in at the top and bottom (duh). For the top, you need either a 1/4" wrench or a pair of vise grips to hold the stud. Then a wrench for the nut. The bottom is held in by just two bolts. Don't remember these sizes. The shock will slide out and can be done with all wheels on the ground. Even I thought this was easy.
