Everyone is right about the fronts. I did them last since everyone says do the rears because they are such a biotch. BUt again, I made a mark to line evreything up when I took the rears off, that they really fell into place. With the fronts, support the hub assembly so it doesnt fall on the ground, then have something to tie it up so it doesn't sag. I guess the axles can pop out or something I dunno. I have some tiedowns with a hook so I used that and tied it off to a little attachment under the wheelwell. I tightened the springs with the spring compressor until the tops were loose. That way I knew the spring wouldn't pop off or anything.

Here's the link I used for the disassembly:

http://newcelica.org/other/technical/manuals/volume2.pdf

open that and then print the following pages...

front: print pages 576, 577, 578, 581, 582

rear: print pages 605, 606, 609, 610
Gives dissassembly instructions, plus the torque values for putting it back together.

The three bolts on the A-arm are right ahead of the wheelwell, these really help in getting the rear shocks out. Here's where they are...

page 615 step #5

Here's a pic of the 3 bolts. You are basically undoing one side of the rear a-arm this allows the rear shock to come out a lot easier.
