Default 89 vert rear shock question.

I have the wheels off and can see that the oil is leaking from the factory Bilsteins. I'm going with KYB's next.

I see the lower bolt no problem, but the top goes through the rear compartment of the back storage area. Do I have to remove the interior carpet to get to this nut/bolt? I see two nuts on each side of the shock shaft where it goes through the bottom of the car. Are these the only two top bolts/nuts I need to remove to change shocks? :confused:

If my memory serves me those are the only to bolts on top. No need to enter the car to rip out the carpet either :nonod:
