5ktq shock questions

[MSV96@aol.com]

I have not yet obtained a Bentely nor btdt replacing shocks on a 5ktq. I
intend to do both soon. Can someone enlighten me as to the procedure and/or
any special tool requirements? I have done this job twice on 4kq's but never
on a big one. I'm told the fronts are easier and come out the top ala a
'murican car. Can someone who has recently btdt drop me a note on their
experiences? All the bushings *look* okay and I have no clunks, groans, etc.
coming from my suspension. What are the common wear items like on the 4kq
(i.e. strut bearings) that should be done with new shocks? TIA...
