you will most probably have to remove the trimmings dat's in the boot to get to them and fold ur rear seats down to have another access point. :)

fold the seats down and remove the plastic trim panels that are behind there. That exposes the top of the strut. You will also want to move the corner pieces of the rear seats. Either undo the bolt at the bottom of them and slide them up to remove them, or do the dodgy way and just lift at the top of them till they unhook and you can kinda bend them out of the way.

Only other tip for the rear is that there is a brake line that will get in the way of you removing the strut from the car. Easiest way is to undo a bolt that is holding the brake line towards the front of the wheel well on the chassis rail. Best way is to remove the rear caliper assembly so the line is completely loose where the strut is.
