Stupid question, How you suppose remove the rear shock??? do I have have to remove it from the trunk or do I have to remove the interior panel to get to it?

 

trunk

 

since all the convertible top motor is there how you get to the 2 bolts???

 

It's a combination of trunk for the two upper bolts and underneath for the shock to control arm bolts. Then you have to compress the springs and disassemble the whole cartridge. On the driver's side, the gas fill can get in the way, on the passenger it's a clear shot.

 

very simple to remove windchaser!

make sure you remove the gas fill on the driverside. Its a hell of a lot easier to get to the top 2 bolts off. Then its just the one bottom bolt on the control arm assembly.
