How to Replace hatch shocks?

Post by HB2k »

Hi everyone i just got my first mx-3 precidia and it is very good except the hatch shocks. ( they dont even hold up the door) I got some good replacement ones. but i cant figure out how to get to the bottom bolts. i got off the rear speaker covers and i see a few fasteners the look like the only snap in and u would have to break them to get them out. can an point me to a guide or instructions on wat i have to remove to get to the bottom bolts of the shocks. I've tried searching to no avail. :( Plz and thank u in advance

Go to main page: http://www.mx-3.com. Find the online shop manual on the left menu.

Go to section S-body
pages 13 and 66 or find the right pages yourself.

You need to remove most of the rear panels if I remember correcly to get to the bolts.
