Very easy. I think there are two bolts. One is under the cargo area carpet & the other is located on the rear axle.
-Jack up the car
-Support the rear axle (It will want to fall once you take the shocks off)
-Undo the 4 bolts (2 per side)
-Pull old shocks out
-Installation is reverseNo F-Body right now -
The hardest part will be finding the top mount.... you pull the carpet back on the package shelf behind the rear seat back, and there will be a white foam (sort of) oval pushed down in a recess. Pull the white foam insert out and access the top nut.
I have a detailed install procedure for the front and rear shocks on my website..... Probably not required, but maybea few hints.

rear shocks
NOTE:
>>Support the rear axle (It will want to fall once you take the shocks off)<<
Not it will "want" to fall, it WILL fall. If you are underneath without the differential supported on a floor jack, it could KILL you falling on you.
