In an article written on 10 Sep, Nick requested information and
suggestions on replacing the shocks on his '75 Spit.

First, the rear shocks are simple and straight-forward. One bolt
each top and bottom. Support the axle while the shock is out.

Second, the fronts are a little more involved. Get a _good_ spring
compressor. These are coil over, and without a spring compressor,
you'll go nuts trying to collapse the spring. It can be done, but
it isn't easy. A spring compressor will make even the front shocks
simple to replace.
