  4. Use a 16mm to remove the upper shock stem nut then remove the shock from the vehicle.
  5. Install the shock in the lower shock mount, reuse factory hardware. [Torque to factory spec]

Use a 19mm socket/wrench to install the shock stem bushing kit onto the factory shock mount as follows: 9/16” ID stem washer, stem bushing (locater lip up), factory shock mount, stem bushing (locator lip down), 12mm ID stem washer, 12mm nylock nut. Fasten until bushing assembly is snug and Nylock is engaged.
