Before posting I did a search and didn't find much, at least not enough to answer my question.

To answer your question, replacing them is very easy if you have a floor jack, a pair of jack stands, and a couple of hand tools.

You'll need to get the front or rear end on jack stands. If it's the front I raise the rear quite high and put in a jack stand up front and then do the same on the other side.

Once the front end is up, remove the wheels.

Then it's a simple process of using a socket to grasp the bolt and an open eneded metric wrench to grasp the other side of the union to remove the tops and bottoms of the drop links.

The whole process should not take more than an hour the first time and you should be able to do it without uttering Sunday School words or bloody knuckles!
