Post rear strut bolts...

so i'm trying to put some new springs on my stock struts...
i decided to start in the back cuz it usually takes longer...
i pull the carpet out in the trunk to expose the top nut for the rear struts. i take a glance and now i have no clue how to get to it. there's nothing but metal surrounding almost the entire top half... please help
i'm trying to just take the top nut off so i can lower the strut and slide the stock springs off and the new ones on...
i really don't want to pull the entire strut out, but if i have to, i will...
suggestions

you have to pull the strut out. unbolt it from the car and pull it out from the fender well.
