Default Re: remove and install shocks (00c5coupe)

There's just one nut on top. You use an allen head wrench to hold the shock stud in place and turn the nut off. It's pretty straight forward, but the front is a little tight and it is hard to keep the stud stationary while unscrewing the nut. I may have some written instructions that came with my bilsteins- let me know and I will try to dig them up.
