Is changing the rear shocks as easy as it looks?

Looks to me like it's just a case of unbolting the old and bolting new ones on?

I take it all the load is taken by the springs?

Say the nuts are hard to get off, or look like they have seen better days what bolts and nuts do I need to replace them and do GSF do them?

How about the front? They look trickier due to them being in the middle of the springs.

The rear shocks are as easy as the corrosion makes them.

The fronts are a lot more work, but will be worth doing as that's the steering end of the bus.

like the man says the front are the harder ones, just renewed mine front and back , cant believe the difference. fantastic

If the bolts are too corroded what size replacements will I need?

You won't need replacements, out of all the vans I've f**ked about with I've never had trouble removing any.
