Default 2001 Civic Suspension question

How do you drop out the rear strut assemblies? There doesn't seem to be an access location for the upper strut nuts. Or are there nuts that need to be removed similar to the fronts? Do you just drop out the rears? I can't seem to remove the rear strut assemblies.

in the trunk behind the seats in the corners under the carpet is the screw for the top of the struts. Should be about 2 or 3 screws. Forgot. The bottom is pretty simple.

Right, but the nuts arent accessible, there's a giant piece of sheet metal in the way.

I drive a sedan too. There is enough room to work with back there. Just remove the carpetting and you'll be fine.
