Nah man,the interior part is a pain.
The lift the carpet deal is the problem...if youve ever done'em.
Theres a pice of foam covering the upper shock nut under the carpeting.
Without tearing into the car,some just slit the carpet with a razor to gain access to the top bolt on the shock.If you dont want to slit the carpet....it'll take you a while disassembling the interior.
Sometimes what appears to be simple and straight forward,can be a pain.With the carpet out of the way its a 15 minute job.
HTH
