Lever Action Shock REplacement

I need to replace the front lever actions shocks on my 51 Buick Special because they leak. Has anyone ever attempted a project like this? Are there any special precautions that need to be addressed? Does the spring have to be compressed? Any assistance you can provide me would be appreciated.

DO I need to do anything special to take them off so they can be rebuilt? Does the spring have to be compressed?

I'm sold on using Five Points as long as I can figure out how to get mine off without doing any damage or injuring myself.

No I don't have a shop manual and I would really appreciate it if you could post the required pages. I can't thank you enough.

I want to thank everyone who replied to my thread. I took your advice and purchased a set of replacement front shocks from Five Points in Santa Ana CA. Mathew was great. He walked me through the process and I was able to install the shocks myself. I won't try to kid you by saying it was quite a project, but it's done. FIve Points is definitely the way to go and he's cheaper than Kanter, Cars Inc, etc.
