Right i have just acquired a 60mm Apex shocks and springs kit and i am wanting to know how tricky it is to fit it myslef?

I have a Haynes Corsa Max Power manual and i reckon i might buy a Haynes Corsa manual too. My mate is gonna help me as he pretty much knows what he's doing, only problem is he hasnt done a corsa before, just his fiesta MK3. I just wanted to know what i should be aware of? Anything people got stuck on when they did theirs?

Cheers,
Nath

Yer the nut on the top of the front suspension strut. U need a ring spanner and a hex key, socket wont work cos it spins the whole thing and theres nowhere to grip it.
