Rear Shocks

[Guest howy]

Hello, i was wondering if anybody out their could tell me if its an easyjob to replace the rear shocks on a c3 HDI 1.4, and if so are their any special tools that you may need, its a 2007 model, any tips or pictures would be most appreciated?

Haynes does not mention anything special but it only goes up to 2005 models so need to satisfy yourself it is the same. Jack up, remove wheel and arch liner, raise suspension arm to compress spring a bit then undo bolts and remove shock absorber. Lower bolt may best be slackened on the ground first since torque is high - also need to renew this bolt and nut. Lower bolt has to be tightened fully once on the ground.
