hi peoples just wanted to ask how hard it is to change the shockies on the front and rear is it a matter of just jacking the car up and unbolting them???? not real sure hence if i had a repair manual lol

Yes mate, it's a pretty simple job.I would suggest undoing either the top or bottom nut on each strut before you jack it up. And jacking the body up rather than diff or axle housing will make them easier to pull out too. Hope this helps!

PS, the rears will take a little longer and you might need a pry bar or similar to push the eye on the shock off the pin on the axle housing.

You can remove them without jacking it up just remove lower mounts compress shock undo tops and pull em out
