The rear strut is only slightly more difficult to remove, because the anti-roll bar attaches to it. The studs on the end-link ball joints have Allen key recesses to hold them while turning the nut. We hauled the old and new struts down the street to the nice people at The Progress Group, who helped us use a spring compressor to trade hardware, a procedure that takes about 15 minutes. Then we slapped it all back on the car. Paying a marginal fee to use a shop's spring compressor is the safest and often easiest way to change struts yourself.
