How to remove and replace rear strut mount?

I need information on installing a rear strut mount(1998. I searched for info online to no avail. I was told this is what I need http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...edkY3Ea25Q.jpg

Will I have to take off the strut assembly(ies) again to gain access to the mount?

Thanks

Youll need to take the strut off the car. One bolt on the bottom and two up top.

I dont remember if you need to compress the back springs when removing the mount but hey better safe than sorry.

You will need compressors. Youtube is your friend.

That link you provided is for the front strut mounts. That does not apply for the rear mount as it is completely different.

I feel like a broken record today, but Monroe Quickstruts are the answer! Only 3 bolts to remove and install the rears and your done! F*** taking a strut apart and using compressors!

I 2nd the Quickstruts, made life easier when I replaced my front struts. They're a lot cheaper on Rockauto, even after shipping, than they are from the auto parts store.
