I am going to replace my rear shocks and springs on my 2001
Odyssey. How do I gain access to the top of the shocks to remove them? Do I have to remove the entire interior or is there a hidden door?
Thank you
Nick

Getting at the top mounting bolts is easy. Jack up the car, remove the wheels, and the bolts will be right there.

PS: For the record, be sure to support the van securely when working under it.

Yea, these are shocks, not struts. The front struts require access on the top but the rear shocks do not.
