It's really pretty simple. Follow a DIY and you should be fine. Just rent spring compressors from auto zone first

Lol that's a 4hour drive from me, I'm sure you can find someone closer that actually has a garage. I was going to help you do it in my street! haha.

If you find someone who has done it before you should be able to knock them out in ~5hrs.

5 hours is a lot pyro. The spring compressors take the most time if you don't have air tools. The ghey part is I had to special order a size 18mm spark plug socket from matco to get the strut out of the tower. You need to get a wrench and a 6mm allen if I remember right at the same time. I tried a deep offset box end but it couldn't get in there, and a socket won't work cuz the ratchet is in the way. So annoying. I'm not sure its the same on fwd but probably.
