6.Let the axle hang. Note the orientation of the rear springs, how there is a shortened vertical distance between each of the coils at the top of the spring.
7.Work the springs out of place. Pop the bottom end toward the front of the vehicle, and pull the spring out. (Figure 2)
8.In the trunk, pull back the forward corners of the trunk liner to expose the top of the shock mounts. Use a 3/8” impact gun with a 15mm deep socket to remove the nut atop the strut. The strut should fall out if the wheels are off the ground. (Figures 3,4) If the nut won’t come off the top of the shock because the shock is rotating with the impact gun, place more weight on the bottom of the shock/wheel hub.
