rear shocks... wtf do i do?
i'm trying to yank the rear shocks out, but i have a feeling i'll have to disconnect some control arms/sway bars/tie rods to get them out... please let me know if there is an easier way to get them out

Power!!
There is a DIY for replacing the shocks. You have to take off the lower control arm and sway bar endlink then they drop out. No big deal. You'll need to get the car aligned afterwards which is a good idea anyway.
don't forget the headlight leveler as well!

My first time I thought the same thing but really they are very easy once you realize how to do it. If I had noticed you were in sacramento before you took it apart, I would have offered for you to drive to fairfield and I would have helped you. I can change all 4 in about 2 hours with a helper or 3 hours by myself.

That's why I am saying take a look at the DIY to get the best information and post questions.

That's fine but it you're asking for help the best help will be form the DIYs that the rest of us have used and commented in. They're very good and cover details many of us will not remember to re-gurgitate for him.
