How hard are they to put in the back of my convert?

If anyone could guide me through, give me some of the common problems, and let me know how long it took them I would be greatly appreciated!

I have done them before, but not in a mustang-- Do they Bolt from the top?
Will I need air tools? bah... just let me know... Thanks.

set aside 10 minutes and a wrench. one of the easiest things you can do to a vert. no air needed.
good luck.

Simple, you will have no problems at all. Bolt on the bottom and one on the top in the trunk. Take both off with the car jacked up (jack on the frame so the axle hangs), they will slip out piece of cake.

Like they said, easy. Hardest part is dealing with possible rusted bolts connecting the shocks to the axle housing.

Alright, cool. What size is the tourques on the bottom of the shock? are they 50 or 55? I looked but wasnt sure of the exact size.
