Shock Install?

Can anyone tell me the process to replace the front shocks? I took a quick look and am not sure what the process is since the shock is in the middle of the spring.

Thanks

The front shocks come out the top. Remove the lower shock bolt using a 21mm socket and wrench. Remove the upper shock mount nut using a 17mm socket or wrench. Then remove the three nuts that attach the upper shock tower to the frame. These are 15mm nuts. Installing the new shocks is the opposite of removal.

Aloha,

Thanks for the input. It's exactly what I thought the process would be but wasn't sure because I've never had to remove the actual shock mount in the past.
