well I just slipped in my short stroke shock and put on the advance strut spacer very easy. But first I power washed the struts with engine degrease that was fun!!

then i went to sears looking for a pair of pliers that i could grip the shock and not gauge it or scratch. They had no special tool , but they had a cool pack of slide on gloves for any pliers to not mess up a finish or gauge some thing all up . so... I bought them only 2.95 for a 10 pack
