The same way you put them on. Did you put them on? How old are they? I'll buy the rears from you.

i ddint put them on.they were on the car when i bought it.i have the irs out of the car but i cant seem to get the shocks out.im not sure what the procedure to get adjustable shocks out are

Its very simple,

1. Remove Trunk Interior
2. Remove Bolts at top of shocks
3. Jack Up Car
4. Remove Rear Wheels
5. Remove bolts at bottom
6. Remove Shock.
7. Install New Shocks
8. Follow Directions but reversed.

i turn the bolts at the top but it turn the shock as well

the top of the shock shaft should have two "flats" that you can put a wrench on so the shaft wont turn when you undo the nut.

Good luck

cool, so when you get them out, let me know and I'll take them off your hands.
