I just did this last night in about 4 minutes tops.
For tools, I used two ratchets with a 14mm and a 17mm socket and a 4" extension. I supported the front end off the ground so the A-arms can flex, removed the top bolt, then the bottom, and took out the old shock. reverse this process to install the Banshee shock. It's that simple.
Edit to add:
Those are exactly what I have (only not painted black) and they fit right in. Throw a shock cover over em and you won't see the flaking paint. Problem solved.
Also, drown the upper and lower bolts, nuts, and pivot points in PB Blaster prior to wrenching on it. It'll save you a LOT of headache trying to break free rusty bolts. I soaked mine the night before I tried to work on it.
