I wanted to be a car mechanic since i was young so i went to college and done 2 years there before finding an apprentaship at nissan last year and its a dream job
There is locating pins on the bottom they have to be cut off but thats easy then i had to use a bar to move the feet into the correct place as they dont line up completely, mine also dont move forward or backwards on both front seats
Yeah mate put a spanner on the nut and hold the thing on top of the strut with grips, if you are putting new shocks on then put grips on the the part that goes inside the shock and use a gun to remove the nut
