I have a '98 accord sedan and the struts are bad. I have spent alot of time working with volkswagens and subarus and decided I wanted to replace the struts myself but I can't get to the strut tower. How do you remove the rear deck without destroying it(I'm afraid to break it) or am I just trying the wrong things ...thanks!

 

Remove the side bolsters if you haven't already, they are just one 10mm bolt at the bottom, then slide it up and out. Then you have to basically just fenagle (sp?) the plastic trays on top out. They just have plastic clips and pull straight up. That should expose the nuts for you. Maybe I'll dig up some pics for you.

 

what he said. Just be gentle when removing the lining in the truck

 

sweet! thanks guys, thats what I thought but I didn't want to start tearing things apart and break stuff
