The shocks () are held in place by a pin with a keeper tab that you will see in the new kit. There isn't a real easy way to remove them, but if you find a deep well socket that the pin will just fit into, use it to slide over the existing pins to help push them out. You may need to remove the screws holding the motor controller to the bottom of the machine as it may prevent one of the pins from being removed. Once the pins are out, put the new shock in place with the new pins.
