Removal
Mark the position of the rear wheels relative to the hub so that the balanced wheels can be installed in their original positions. Loosen the wheel nuts when the car is on the ground. Support the rear and remove the rear wheels.
Caution: Only lift the vehicle when unloaded.
Place a floor jack under the rear axle and lift it slightly to relieve the shock absorbers.
Unscrew the lower mounting bolt (1) of the shock absorber and pull it out, tapping it with a soft-faced hammer if necessary.
Unscrew the top bolt (2) and remove the shock absorber.
Installation
Insert the shock absorber and tighten the bolts of its mounts by hand, without tightening them yet.
Remove the rear axle support (jack).
Install the rear wheels according to the marks made earlier. Before doing this, lightly lubricate the hub seat on the wheel disk with consistent grease. Do not lubricate the threads of the wheel studs. Tighten the wheel nuts. Lower the car and tighten the wheel nuts crosswise to a torque of 90 Nm.
