I would say medium to hard, allow your self at least 2 hours either side, a lot of dismantle to do, then remove springs and add them back onto the new strut, that is if you are not replacing them all as one unit with springs already attached to the new strut.

If really hard is a 10 then i would say this job is at least an 8

I've done front struts on other vehicles and that's not a bad job considering.
I've not even looked underneath yet, thought I'd get some info first.

Just ordered two from Paddocks
I have to have them so they'll be here when I decide to fit them.
Freelander very bouncy bouncy and jittery on rough corners
