Yes, you will have to get to the bolts by folding your seats, and going through the back. a 6" or 8" extension bar for your socket wrench is very useful. i did it this way in about 30 mins per side, using a 6" extension and a universal joint. make sure you have a telescoping magnet when putting the nuts back on the strut tops. if one of the nuts rolls under the seatback, it's a pain in the a$$ to get back out. i usually hold the nut on the bottom/side with the magnet, and lightly thread it on with the socket. you can then remove the magnet and tighten everything properly.

Just thought I would vent a bit.
that's what i thought too the first time i changed them, but the second time i used a 6" extension, and it was much easier for me than the fronts. it's kind of a tight fit, but the strut is much easier to get in than the fronts.
