Removing the rear shock ? - Page 2

Sense there is no info on how to go about removing the rear shock from my 2021 RX4 I have been removing a bunch of stuff just to get down to it....
I may even have to pull off the exhaust header pipe as it covers one of the bolts from coming out....
is there an easy way to get the shock out ? it looks to me like I have to pull the 2 links on the bottom with the shock as it doesn't look like the shock will fit through the modified horseshoe link to come out so I think it's easiest to just drop them all out as one ....
but I am wondering if the 17" long shock will come out of that hole without having to be lifted up a foot !....
right now both wheels are on the floor.... I have a ATV/Motorcycle jack I can lift it with but it is very unstable on that jack and I don't like the bike on it for long !
LOL....
any suggestions ???
Bob..........
