Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheel; proceed to detach the link connecting the shock absorber to the suspension wishbone, the pins securing the shock absorber to the hub support, free any cable ties, and unscrew the nut securing the rod to the shock absorber support at the body strut mount.

Then, extract the shock absorber from its seat and use the appropriate clamps to compress the spring to remove the support from the rod; then fit the spring onto the new shock absorber, reassemble the support, and release the spring.

Proceed in reverse for installation.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
