This is the Supra service manual for shock replacement: http://www.mkiv.com/manual/manualtt/...ent/index.html

It is identical to the procedure for shock removal on the SC.

Be safe and give yourself a Saturday for the job if it is your first time. Once you get the hang of it, you can swap out the rears in ~1hr and the fronts in ~2hr.
