All 4 on my 92 came out without much resistance once I was able to get a long enough ratchet extension and some leverage on them.

Drilling them out takes a hell of a lot longer than knocking them out.

just bend them out a little til the shock fits in em, bolt em up there, then put a bolt through em to hold the shock in. Not much to write up.

Yea, I used an impact socket and beat it in there with a hammer til it was wide enough.

Just to let you know if you put them on the rear it stops the shocks from moving like they should because it turns the mount.
