I am going to replace my shocks this weekend - I have never done it, this is the first time the shocks have been replaced since I hae owned my car. I have been doing the maintanence myself, ecept the shock package. Besides the basic turn the bolts and get them off, do I need to pay attention to tork values - ft-lbs to tork the bolts to? How about the front struts? How to get them off/on?

Before taking on this project, I suggest purchasing a Robert Bentley repair manual for your model car. Go to Amazon.com for it.
