Changing shocks

There's a sale at Canadian Tire. 3 Monroe Sensa-trac shocks for the price of 4. I'm going to buy them and install them myself. What I would like to do is take a series of pictures and do a write up on how to install them. Does anybody have any advice on what shots and procedures that I should emphasize. I was going to basically take before pictures of the rear shocks with a set up of wrenches at the top of the shocks since taking off the upper nut seems the most difficult aspect of this task.

I'm going to be doing alot of simple procedures myself and I want to use my website or this website on a "how to" or "do it yourself" picture and information source. Much like Amigo-k2's faq site.


Things to do now

Shocks
fuel filter replacement
pcv valve replacement
replace bushings on door pins

Things to do before next winter

Change sparkplugs
change tranny fluid and filter
change coolant fluid
check brake fluid
check all hoses
fix rear window wiper

Things to do at 100 000 kms

O2 sensors

You get the idea. Since Isuzu is restructuring in North America, I think it would be great to have an organized source with pictures to help Isuzu owners on how to do basic mechanical maintenance. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
