There is a website that sells the 1996 to 2000 Genuine Honda Service manual in pdf and it's a quick download after payment. Forgot the link though, do Google. Otherwise, some guy is selling the same thing on a CD on ebay - do a search. I have this pdf manual and it tells me how to do that + a lot of other stuff. Worth the $8 I paid for it!

If you pay a mechanic to do your rears tell us how much it costs!

Is it corroded so that you can't get it out? Does your car have rust? I used P B Buster or something from Walmart - sprayed it on my caliper holding bolts to loosen them.

ya the bolt is probably frozen in there. chances are u'll end up breaking the bolt if u try to get it out. if that happens, u can try to drill it out. u can also break the tack welds on the shock and pull the bolt out. or if u have the money, buy new LCA's and bolts and replace it all.
