Honda Rafaga rear shocks

Okay guys and gals ran into a few problems when trying to change the springs on my Rafaga. The fronts went on fine but the rears were a real b"*#^. I searched and the closest thing I could find was an article on CD Accords. The problem is that in the CD there is a key slot that can drop the rear seats down, but I could't find it in the Raffa. SO then I decided to rip everything away at the back to try get it but I could only undo one bolt......so the question is have any of you done this before? And if so how did you do it? Otherwise can anyone give me some info to help? Lol kinda annoyed at driving around in a partially lowered car that looks like a dragster cos of the high rear end. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers guys and girls and sorry for this novel of a post lol

um......either under the rear parcel shelf......or in the boot.

should be two bolts......with a larger one in the middle......undo the small ones.

Re: Honda Rafaga rear shocks

Lol probably really noob will try to sort out some pics soon to explain but so far I've tugged pulled yelled and can only get the accesible bolt on the shock, the other one seems to be hidden behind panelwork and gay Rafaga lol. Did a search on H-T and they used a wobble joint?? tool to remove it I looked at it looked at what I had and relised I couldn't do it cos lol too noob. Now begs the question, would someone be able to help me remove it as I would personally like to learn rather than let a mechanic do it cos he won't let me look lol.

Otherwise any friendly mechanics, or anyone who knows how to handle the proverbial bitch (Honda Rafaga) here ( in Welly) who would teach me how to and get paid of course. Cheers guys and gals
