there are two bolts in the engine bay sitting next to where the shock goes thru (14 or 15mm) undo those and loosen the bolt that is on the fork and you should be able to pull it out. in the rear, climb in the trunk like you are getting smuggled across the border, there are two more bolts (per shock) undo them and undo the bolt on the lca and they will come out. Also search is your best friend on here. Everyone will tell you that. Here is a link for a DIY, https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/%5Bfaq%5D-shock-removal-install-eg-1427142/.
