I have a 98 civic ex, and I need to replace the front driver side shock. Its a regular stock shock, and I have already taken off the damaged one. Not so easy to put in the new one...

So true, just don't take off the plastic strap on a gas charged shock. I would jack up that side from the body on that side giving a little more room. With the tire removed you should be able to wiggle it in. Don't forget to use a jack stand for safety. Good luck
