Pictures are not necessary.  Removal is as easy as taking the wheel off and removing the nut on top of the shock and the bolt on the bottom.  To keep the shaft from spinning you will need a pair of vice-grips to be able to get ahold of it while removing the nut.  Sizes are metric, but don't remember the sizes.

Installation is just the opposite as removal, but you will want to add some loctite to the threads.  If you have a torque wrench, the top nut is 19 ft. lbs. and the bottom is 70 ft. lbs.  If you don't have a torque wrench, tighten the top nut until the rubber grommet is squised to the same diameter as the washer provided.  This will be very close.  The bottom does not need reefed on, but is very snug.
