Before I attempt to replace my front shocks, does anyone have a "How to" on this subject (couldn't find one in the forum)
Anything I need to be aware of?
Best method?
Torque setting?
Thanks
This includes what you are looking for.

Thanks Lamcote no wonder I couldn't find anything (TRD Sportivo)!
I know, it took me ages to realise what that was all about!
If you can get your hands on an impact wrench, it saves a lot of time and flexing of your swear muscles.
The only problem I came across with mine was undoing the top nuts. I spent ages on them, then my neighbour came home, borrowed his impact wrench, and they span straight off.

You mean the 3 nuts under the frunk?
Ive already manage to get them off before without a problem to paint the ring black.

The nut that holds the damper rod, in the middle of the top mount. It can be a bit of a pain as there's nothing to grip to stop the damper rod spinning.
I will loosen it first from the top while its still on the car.
