You have to go through the trunk, and remove the spare tire, and Interior..

fuel inlet "mouth piece" need to be loose to get to the left rear strut, it's self-explanatory once you pop the carpet off

wow, looking at those directions, spring install looks very easy. How long does the job usually take?

It took me a couple hours......

i put the car up on jack stands, took all the shocks off and took them to work....

i have air tools but no compressor at my house.... but i have one at work.... go figure....

popped the springs off w/o spring compressor....... they did not feel loaded at all......no, i dont condone doing it w/o a spring compressor, but i have a acura tech friend that has done a few, and he said that the springs were not loaded on the shock......

installed the new springs on the shocks and came home and re-installed them on the car.....
