    There is a bit more work in getting the legs off, especially the bottom joint, and you need a spring compressor, but its not difficult.

    Rear shocks are easy! Two bolts each side. 17mm on the bottom and it depends what shaocks they are to what the nut size is on top.

    I know its bad practice but ive only ever used a compreser once. Just lean on it lmao, The big nut can be a rite t**t to get of though.
