I'm digging up this thread from 2010.
Is there any chance you remember if you had to remove suspension components to replace the rear struts?
I tried it this afternoon and ran out of time.
It seems to be more complex than removing the upper strut mount bolts and the one bolt on the bottom of the strut. Almost like there is not enough "give" to get the strut out.

Did the fronts in about 2-3 hours, but the rears seem tougher.
