has anyone themselves replaced the rear struts on 2000 sonata. Question is how do you get at the upper strut mount to loosen bolts to remove the strut assembly?

so your telling me that the rear deck and probably the rear seat (interior) has to be removed in order to gain access to the upper strut mounting bolts.
