My old van needs some love how easy is it to replace the front shocks and even the rear ones. There is also a leak coming thru the front right rim I don't think it is brake fluid but could be grease from the hub.

on the front shocks take a long extension with a socket on the end and if yo have room put socket on nut then move back and forth to break shaft(you aren't going to use them any longer) remove lower bolts and remove shock. reverse for assy. on rear if you can do it on top do the same but ifnot use an impact and thehopefully the nuts will come off otherwise you will have to hold the shaft and take nut off and lower rea bolt. reversefor reassy
