theres not one, cause its to easy to figure out. two bolts att eh bottom to the knuckle, you'll have to hammer the bolts out, they are splined, then the 3 bolts up top and out it comes.
you'll need an alignment when the new ones are put in likely.
Sweet, not like a Ford (have done two different contour svt struts never want to do it again). Hate the knuckles where you have to insert the strut into it never can get the LCA low enough to get it in.
GTP is parked for winter have a lot planed for it all four struts, sways, end links, BMR trailing arms, SD headers, LIM gasket, plugs, wires, thermostat and changing to green coolant.
once that is done alignment, 3.4 and a tune from overkill.
Really soak the trailing arm bolts, they are usually pretty rusted
keep a jack under the front knuckles when taking out those bolts. If you just let the hub hang unsupported the bolts are holding the weight and are hard to drive out.
Also loosen the nuts and back them off to the end, be careful not to mushroom the ends of the bolts when hammering them out.
I put Kroil on all the bolts and nuts last night, the trailing arms are a joke no wonder you all say to replace them good thing i got BMRs ready to go in.

The rears done. WOW you were not kidding easy! 6 bolts in an out not including the wheel! on to the fronts.
Got the fronts done too, also easy. Found the driver side sway was broken as many people say happens. Already have the Dorman to install just waiting on the mounts.
I went with 03 Impala police edition quick struts and it is alot higher then it was before. i knew the quick struts would do that but wasnt expecting it to lift it that much. None of my springs were broken either.
