How do you remove OEM uppermounts???

Okay you guys have convinced me to go with the stock mounts with Tein SS as opposed to Tein SS-P's. My question is it hard to take them apart? I have the tein instructions, but they don't say much. I really want to do this myself, and I know I'll need a spring compressor. I was wondering if there were any detailed instructions or pics out there? Anything I should look out for?
Thanks

well. to remove them from the spring/strut assembly, you just need to remove the one big bolt on top... theres an alen key that stops the shock from spining while you are doing this.

Once they are off, you'll do pretty much the same thing to mount them on to the Teins.

Just be sure to keep track of what order the "layers" go... and you may need to re-lube the bushing with some graphite lube.

graphite lube? never heard of that, how about some semi-synthetic durablend grease?
