Front shocks are a breeze! 10 minutes per side, max. Raise front end and support by frame, (let the wheels hang). Use a deep socket and a long handled ratchet on the upper bolt. Rock the ratchet handle up and down about 4 times and the shock stud will snap right off. Remove the lower bolts and the shock falls out! The rear shock upper bolts are "neatly tucked away" but they are accessible.
