1. Open the box
2. Unfold the instructions
3. Read
4. Take out old front strut assembly and disassemble
5. Clamp old strut in vise or other device for holding steady
6. Use hacksaw/angle grinder to cut off end of strut housing (about 1/2" up from where the shaft comes OUT of the housing...the instructions show exactly where to cut)
7. Take out the guts and drain the oil
8. Flip housing on end and drill hole for bolt (per KONI's instructions)
9. De-burr the freshly cut housing with sandpaper/Dremel
10. Insert new KONI
11. Bolt in from bottom
12. Slide rubber dust ring around the top (near the end of the housing by the shaft)
13. Reassemble strut with spring and the rest
14. Put it in your car
15. Repeat for other side

The rears are like any other shock.

OK. That was the pimpest writeup ever for KONI inserts. Someone archive this sh*t cuz I don't want to write it again.
