Not too bad to do. With the rears you need to be careful that the mounts don't shear when you undo the nuts. I split the nuts on mine and replaced with new as it saved the need to buy more parts!

Fronts are straight forward. Hold the end of the shock shaft still and undo the nut at the top. Remove the nut and bolt from the lower wishbone and it should pull free.
