Do you mean front's or backs, or both?

If it's the rears, seriously it's a piece of p*ss even if a spanner has never crossed your palm before.

The front's a little more tricky, but it's only a case of undoing stuff then re assembling it in the reverse order.

If you get majorly stuck let me know but i can't do anything this week end and i'm working away again next week.

* Edit, just noticed it's all round, i've not done my blocks yet but do you not have to undo the shocks to fit them, wouldn't it have been easier to do all in one hit?

I thought changing car springs was difficult because you need compressing tools? Or am I thinking of trying to disassemble the shocks themselves?

No you are correct, but with spring compressors in hand it is a simple job.
