    mate all you have to do is undo 3 bolts either side fit it and put the bolts back on, if it takes you more than 4 minutes youy shouldnt be allowed near cars lol, so no need for a mechanic just make sure your car isnt jaked up or on stands when yopur undoing the strut bolts.

    yep anything over 20nm and will snap bolt as i found out mine was set on 22 not on purpose (when tightening the bolt i moved the adjuster a bit to 22 and snap no more bolt so be carefull
