Installing the Rear Strut
Today I got around to installing the rear strut so heres the writeup for it. Its a pretty straight forward installation with just a couple of pain in the arse items.
Tools needed:
Knife and or Sissors for cutting the carpet
14mm socket for the factory nuts
17mm socket for the AutoExe nuts
Hex wrench or some type of pliers/vice grips
The first picture shows the fully intact stock trunk. You want to remove the snaps for the left and right side carpet and remove both of those.
Next you want to remove the two snaps on the floor carpet located on the left and right near the rear seats.
Pull the carpet back, there is no need to completly remove it unless you just want to. Picture 2 shows the sides removed and the carpet pulled back. This is how I kept it for the install.
