Searching archives and FSM only explain front strut removal and general strut removal(FSM). Is there a sticky or past thread explaining how to reach and unbolt the upper portion of the strut?

Thanks.

Remove the cloth covered fiberboard divider at rear of trunk [in front of gas tank]. Use an electric phillips screwdriver to back out the screws in the dozen clips. You will see the plastic cap covered two nuts for rear shocks on the shock towers.

Just did that today actually. Once everything is unbolted, use your foot to press down on the hub to slide the strut out easier. Otherwise you'll be wrestling with it for a while.
