I’m getting ready to do this but am wondering if any of you have done it? I wonder if there is a way to access the top of the rear shock without taking out the rear seats and removing the rear tray. Remove the speakers perhaps? Anyone?

 

one can do it without taking off the rear deck/tray.
so, just removal of back seats is all that's needed

 

Took the seats out. (Broke the hold down clips.) looks like the rear shocks are going to be a super easy 1 hour job. The only thing that could be an issue is the headlight level procedure. I doubt I’ll have to do that though.
