Let's see how to remove the rear shock absorber on a Fiat Punto. The first step: loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car on a column lift, and remove the rear wheel.

Use a socket wrench to unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber at the wheel hub (detach the brake line tubes with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolt located at the side (top part of the shock absorber), and remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation.

Fit the new shock absorber onto the car, proceeding in reverse.
