Remove the Rear Shock Absorber from a Citroen C4 Picasso

Model: Citroen C4 Picasso MK 1 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Shocks

To remove the rear shock absorber from a Citroen C4 Picasso, loosen the wheel nuts using a suitable tool (socket wrench or air drill), lift the car on a column lift, and remove the wheel. Using a socket, unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber (at the top and bottom), and remove the bolts at the top; pull the shock absorber out of its housing. Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation: insert the shock absorber into its housing, first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom to the wheel hub.
