Tophat spacers in, fit top of shock into place, linkages back in, dogbones on, wheel back on.
Home mechanic 2 hours tops.
I'll be doing this shortly (third shock down in the pic above is mine!) bet I take longer than two hours. Good job I live a long way from other people too as I bet the language will be pretty blue at times
Any recommendations for grease in the linkages, do I need some fancy waterproof moly based stuff or will the regular black stuff do the job?
Cheers,
Rob

Any generic grease will do. They probably havent been greased since they left the factory
