  • top and bottom rubbers have to replace with the new ones each time you change shockers or springs, shockers dead rubbers dead, middle shock cover rubber as we see damaged it gets dust around needs replacing too, $3-4 dollars each, you better get air tools sorry but you are killing yourself bro,

  • always cracks me up with help videos is the people leaving comments... so your looking for help.. but your obviously an expert... i mean give me a break on this one.. if your an expert why you looking at videos.. an i strongly suggest if you dont have the know how or tools leave this job to the experts

  • not with the top plate being in place you wont hurt yourself. and its better to use hand tools vs. air tools due to having more control.

  • You should decompress evenly on both sides and you need some power air tools
