Default NEED HELP!! i am changing my front shocks 87 CRX

I was wondering if someone could help me in the order/process of changing a front shock to a 1987 CRX.

I could probably figure it out but that means i will also most likely do a couple things wrong.

If someone could just tell me the order in which to take it off, and the put it on. It looks like it should be pretty easy.

Thanks for any input!

Ill post some pictures of the car when I am done...

jack up car and remove wheels. remove brake line mounts. remove front knuckle bolt. remove shock from knuckle. curse at T-bars cause they don't allow front arms to drop. remove top two bolts from shock tower. remove shock fully.
replace.

ok i dont need to do any crazy pry bar type **** to hold the traction bars in place or out of the way?

If there was anything to pay certain attention to or that might potentially be a problem what would those items be?

Anything wierd, i have only changed shocks with a spring setp!
