Link needed: Koni Yellow Install

I’ve seen a write-up before but can’t seem to find it now, tried searching but couldn’t find it.

-Thanks, Andrew

It's basically in the Hayne's manual.

Take off the wheel
Rotate caliper (fronts)
Put on spring compressors
Take off brake line
Unbolt bottom 2 bolts
Unbolt 4 top bolts
Pull out

I might have missed a step or two, but it's pretty obvious.

it's not like your adding speical suspension to the car, it's pretty much just a direct replacement isn't it?

The fronts are inserts, which are really simple to install. Just follow the instructions... Drill hole, cut on line, slide in, tighten bolt...

The rears are direct replacements.

Not worried about the rears, My5Ababy, AmviciousRay, and Cpt.Zanzibar the koni fronts are not direct replacements, tisk tisk shame on you. I was just trying to see if there were any tricks to getting the inserts right, I’m hoping they go without a problem.

-Thanks, Andrew

I guess I should have been more specific, I know how to do the install, I have read a write-up on it before but I have also heard of people cross threading their shocks while doing the inserts and wanted to know if there are any little tricks of the trade that can make the process easier. Thanks for your help 5Ababy ill be more specific next time.
