Replacement of rear shocks and brakes -- Straightforward
I just replaced the rear shocks and brakes -- pads and rotors -- on my son's '95 850. I finished in about two hours using just hand tools, a floor jack and some jack stands. And I'm in no way a master mechanic, or even a gifted amateur. The instructions in the Haynes manual were completely sufficient.
Tomorrow I tackle the front brakes, passenger axle and struts.

RE: Replacement of rear shocks and brakes -- Straightforward
Front struts, link rods and spring bushings took about three hours with interruptions. Didn't get to the front brakes due to other commitments.
The axle I received from eeuroparts was the "staked nut" variety, which is for the '94, not the '95. I'll finish next weekend, I suppose.
