If you do not have one, I could cut them for you. Attached are the instructions that I used to install mine.

EDIT: Others have said the fronts are much easier if you have a spring compressor, which I did not have. You can get one from Harbor Freight for about $13. A spring compressor is definitely not required to do this though.

Here is a link to an easy to follow tutorial https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...5-srt-6-a.html. The pdf attachment is a combination of two posts.
