The spring tensioner should not take you more than 5 minutes to replace. Requires removal of one bolt (loosen bolt, use large dia screw driver or socket extension to take up the tension, pull the bolt and release the tension).

I was able to loosen the bolt on the tensioner shock far enough to get the old shock out and new one in without removing anything. Is tight, but can be done.
