Avidien removing the panels and rear seats is not that hard. The hardest part is getting the first nut the top one off the top of the shock. I had to use a pipe for leverage. Once you get that one off the one beneath it is easy. I used a small wrench to hold the stem while i was getting the top nut off. The drivers side is easier because i used the body panel to hold the wrench in place while i was turning the socket with the pipe to loosen the nut. The other side i had someone hold the wrench since it turns in the direction toward the drivers side.
