I replaced the rear shocks on my 2001 Disco, It was the easiest shock job I ever did. It took less than half an hour. Just put Monroes @ $43 a piece from Oriely's not as good as KYBs or Bilsteins but a lot better than what was on there which were totally dead.

I drove the rear end up on Rhino ramps

I used an 18mm impact to loosen the lower bolts

I used an 18 socket to loosen the top bolts and they came right out no prodding needing just fell off perch.

Hand compressed the new one a little to adjsut lenght


Put a little anti-sieze on bolts

Bolted them up and thats it.

 

Good to hear that it was a simple and straight forward job. You did good by using anti seizing grease on the bolts. Out of curiosity how many miles did the original shocks have?

 

Just do not get used to jobs being easy. This may be your last.

 

now lets see you do the fronts in a half hour, now that would impress me
