rods

Okay Since I have done 12 or more CAMP 914 rear trunk shox kits. I feel that i can speak from some experience.
First remove the engine lid. Battery should be disconneted and to be really safe remove it completely. The tension rods can touch teh battery terminals and cause a short. Then stuff blankets or I use movers blankets in the area where the rods will release towards. Then get a long screwdriver or pry bar and a stick or bar to hold the raer trunk lid in the up position.
The rollers on the car that the tension rods sit on are going to come flying out when you pry the tension rods off of the roller studs.
So I would get something to contain them in the engine bay area.
After proping the rear trunk lid up, pry off the tension rod on one side or the other. You will experience a LOUD bang when it releases. Check the area and see if you need to adjust anything on the oppisite side before prying that one loose.
After prying loose both sides of the tension rod, you next remove the four ten MM nuts that hold the brackets in place.
Then remove the rods themselves and install the CAMP 914 trear trunk shox kit as per instructions.
