What size in the bolt for the lower strut

Is it really this easy?

[@clay3205]

Man. That looked super easy. Got me thinking.

[@TheSotojr]

I am going to give it a try next week, I will let you know!
Hope it is as easy as it looked...

[@clay3205]

@@TheSotojr How'd it go, man?

[@fiddler1861]

It is. With minimal tools and a rolling floor jack, it took me about an hour to do both shocks. A breaker bar is handy, ad so are vice grips, plus a 17mm and 14 mm wrench.

Torsion bar

This video is useless the Pathfinder has a completely different front suspension setup to the Xrerra so why label the pathfinder as the same ?
