don't replace them they just need re greasing, i've just done mine and it wasn't too difficult

My MY99 STI V5 has a rear shock knocking, how easy is it to take the shocker of. The garage I asked said its a nightmare?

 

Looking at mine it doesn't look to bad, mine is 04 though. Any info on this would be good. Is it worth changing them thought to after market what are the benefits

Just changed the springs on my 04 WRX and dropping the shocker out is not a nightmare, its just a bit of a pain in the **** at the rear as access to one of the bolts is hampered by the positioning of the seat belt roller. (the front is a doddle, but still best as a two man job) Not sure if this is the same on a classic though. With two of us working on it we swapped out all 4 corners in less than two hours.

 

here is a good guide I found for removing the struts.

just as a matter of interest how long does a refurb with new grease last ?
