Normally you have to go in through the trunk, can be a PITA pulling all the interior apart.

k guys...i heard that i dont need to go through the drunk...
i just have to take my rear seats out since it doesnt fold down...and i can do it from there

Fold the rear seats down. Open the plastic access panels on either side...you can now see the upper strut bolts. Use some extensions to reach the 3 12mm bolts from the top.

Remember to torque the nuts properly when reinstalling.
