I purchased 4 OEM replacement shocks for my 2006 xlr. Do I need any special tools besides socket and torgue wrenches to do this job myself? I do not want to pay nearly $500 installation fee if it is simply removing tire and removing the 3 bolts. I'm pretty handy and think I can do this myself but thought I would ask here on the forum before I get myself into something I am unprepared for. It looks like I may have to remove a small tank to get to the bolts on the drivers side according to one video I watched. Has anyone done this themselves that can give me some pointers? Thanks so much. I Love my car, but mechanics love to watch a dumb girl come in driving one of these. They start salivating for cash.
