Talking how do i install new coilovers

i just got some tokico hp shocks for my 90 240 and had a set of coilovers(no name) that one of my friends huked me up with. now these coilovers did not come with any instructions so i have no idea how to install them. i know a mech who says he can do it but will be a little time consuming without instructions. does anyone out there know of any site that knows how to install and assemble the unit? im hoping to install them this weekend so if anyone can huk it up drop me a couple lines. one other thing the front coilovers do not fit over the strut like they should????

you mean the treaded sleeve wont fit over that Octagon looking cap thing. well what you need to do is grab a drummel or like a grinder/tool sharpener and run those pointed ends untill they rounded and untill the sleeve fits over the strut. Another thing...your actual coilvoers are not going to sit on the Spring Seat. You are going to place that Gold ring looking thing that i posted above, you are going to let that SIT on the WELD of the spring seat, and the let the treaded sleeve sit on the ring. in conclusion you will have to cut your spring seat off. but then again i dont know i need to see what your tokicos look like, and if your treaded sleeve has that ring thing inside of it.
