changing back struts Options

Hey can anyone tell me how difficult is it to change rear struts and what tool are needed thanks.

It isn't too bad.

If it hasn't been done in a while, then there might be a problem getting the end links off of the shock body. I had to cut mine off the first time.

You'll probably need a breaker bar, a couple 19mm sockets, the top nuts are 12 or 14mm, an allen wrench set (for the end links), and an open/box end wrench (14 or 15mm).

Best if you have a helper, as wrestling the strut out can be a bitch with one person (though it can be done).
