    Take top and bottom bolts out..repeat in the opposite direction, only fun part is getting the bottom of shock inside the housing due to having to compress the shock. :spy:

    There is a rubber bushing at the top of the shock that is a real pain in the ass to compress enough to get an adequate amount of the top thread through for the nut to catch on. I cussed at it a lot which I think helped.

    It's a pretty easy job, far easier than the fronts.
