Have any of you done this yourself? I did the fronts today, but had no idea to get access to the rear upper strut mounting bolts? I saw the access panels, but for the love of god how are you supposed to get the nuts off and back on? An extention obviously, but getting it back on will be ridiculous. Any tips?

Although I haven't done the rear install (I do it in two days), I know what to do. Basically, you take out the access panels, and you also unsnap the back panel trim thats behind the rear seats when it folds down. There are 3 snaps, one for each side and one for the middle. You are able to fit your hand underneath the rear deck without taking it apart. When you do that, you can direct the extention onto the nuts or thread the nuts back on when you put the suspension back on. Its about 100x harder than my 1996 civic but i guess it builds character haha.
