Quick and "Relatively" Easy
I agree with a prior review of this product that a floor lift makes replacing these rear struts easier. I work for an automotive supplier so I was able to install these struts at our shop (w/shop tools). The whole job took around 1.5 hours (two people).
Here are some of my findings for installing these into my 2002 Explorer:
The first step is to remove the main bolt at the bottom of the shock. After that remove the three locking nuts located at the top of the strut (near top of the wheel well). The working area is tight around these 3 nuts and an air-tool will not fit in the space so you'll need to use a manual wrench (recommendation = ratchit wrench). After all four fasteners were removed (3 top nuts, 1 bottom bolt) from the strut assembly, it was noticed that there wasn't enough clearance to remove the strut. We had to remove the two tie rods and the rear-most bolts that holds the lower control arms. After those were removed, it takes just a pry bar to...

My experience with assembly
I just installed these quick struts over Memorial Day weekend at my father-in-law's service shop. I replaced the rear struts on my 2002 Ford Explorer. First off, you don't need to be an expert to replace the struts. It can be done, but it does require some extra work on an Explorer at least. Having a lift was extremely helpful as it would be harder with just floor jacks. The first strut we replaced took longer than the second. Removing the old struts does not require a special tool and you don't need to remove the springs. There are three bolts on the top portion of the strut and one at the bottom. Loosen those all the way, but in order to remove the old strut it required a little extra. First, we had to remove a bolt in the rocker arm and then we had to use a long handle crow bar to push down the rocker arm enough to pull the old strut out. Otherwise, it isn't going to come out as there is not enough room. Installing the new one, you just need to line it up and then push down the...
