Re: fron shock instal!
This is a somewhat easy job if.....
1) you have the spring compressor (a must)
2) an impact gun (air or electric. don't matter)
3) everything else DisrupTer911 said.
if you don't have 2), then this MAY, i repeat, MAY be a PITA. getting that top nut loose for the first time can suck. you'll probably need a vise and/or another set of hands to hold stuff still while you try to break it free. oh, and a reguler wrench pretty much doesn't work here. you need an offset closed-end wrench. by that, i mean the ones that, if you look at the wrench from the side, the have a drop down from the handle to the end. you need this to get down in around the nut. you can't use an socket wrench because you need an allen in the top of the strut to hold it in place.
you'll see what i mean when you get in there. also, do youself a favor and replace the top bearing while you're in there. they have a tendency of going bad and now is a great time to replace it just in case. it costs less than $10 through Steve (FORDSVTPARTS).
give it a shot.
