all right so today we're just playing that front shock on a Jeep Grand Cherokee as you can see this one is a pretty rusted out so right here at the bottom there's two 13 millimeter bolts as far as the top goes if you look inside here underneath these things you can see really into that bolt is that's the top of the shock so you're going to focus on that so that's the top of the shock and so you have to unscrew that you look at the passenger side you get a better clip with it so something that looks like that anyway the top nut on that one is a 9/16 and then basically what I do is I grab onto it with the wrench and then you need to start turning it this part right here this guard for the shock will start turning as well so usually grab onto that with a pair of channel locks to keep it from spinning and I just rotate the top and the and the shield independently of each other to get them taken off so mushrik I have the wrench kind of kinked right there between the engine and then the other end if I can't see their Wells down there on the nut and so the wrench isn't going anywhere but now that I've broken it loose with a pair of channellocks just grabbing onto that and twisting it I can twist the whole thing with my hand and so that since the wrench of top is staying still this is just unscrewing the nut from the top of it it's a lot easier than trying to maneuver that wrench inside of all that it's not a whole lot of space to maneuver up there and now that the nuts off the top I can just take this out by hand and just kind of compress it a little bit then move it around so the reason I take off the top first is because right there didn't give me enough room to put my mother socket for my wrench on there but now that the tops out I could move it left and right and give me enough room to fit each side in so that's how I do it I'm just mashach in right now on the other side these bolts when I was taking off the shock just twist it completely enough so I went ahead and bought some more bolts was on like five boxes that would be safe and sorry so even though these bolts came out in one piece a I'm putting the other bolts in this size was the m8 1.25 by 30 millimeters and that's got the washers and nuts to go with it so I might tighten those in once again leaving this now disconnected so I can tip it left and right right so I can have room to get the wrench in there okay so it doesn't matter you know which side of the shot goes out I usually just put the one with the letters and stuff out so whoever needs to come in and order another shock whatever it can read which kind it is and then also remember that the guard right here is always on the top just like when water and stuff comes down it runs off of the shock instead of being stored down inside the protector so right before you put it up inside the mount on the top end make sure you put your whole bushing zone and just kind of pull it down and then let it go up into the top there and it does come with the new nut so it doesn't matter what you do with the old ones here we got the passenger side you can see that I had to replace those two bolts down there at the bottom because they broke apart I was trying to take off the shock there's the top part of it you it's all attached up in there and down there have the washer and then not and the other black rubber thing that holds it all in place so that's how you do the shocks on a Jeep Grand Cherokee you have any questions be sure to leave in the comments I do end up putting videos up on that YouTube that every week or so now a lot to do with Jeeps cell phones technology have fixed random stuff anyway so if you like them go ahead and subscribe and yeah thanks you
