Some more progress to report tonight. I am planning on shipping out my shocks tomorrow to be rebuilt, so tonight I worked on removing the rear shocks. Following is a quick overview. Here is the starting point.



Brake caliper and rotor removed.



And shock removed. In my opinion the quickest way about it is to remove the toe arm at the wheel bearing carrier and then to loosen the lower control arm at the subframe (camber eccentric bolt). Then, move up to the top, remove the three 13mm nuts that hold the shock mount in place and you should now be able to drop the shock down and remove it from the wheel bearing carrier.




The last to-do item for the evening was to strip down the shocks of all hardware. Fronts done.



Rears done.



Before shipping the shocks out, I wanted to get some practice refilling the built-in nitrogen canisters. Since I think there may be some value in sharing the procedure, I will post a separate DIY for that and link it here.
