Sorry for fully quoting you, but I feel I might as well include the pics to keep the responses clear :)

^^ Yes, loosening this one nut will release the upper part of the shock entierly. No other nuts or bolts hold the top part in.

The smaller one is just holding that black plate in place (the larger nut is welded to the plate). If you have air tools (or strong arms, unlike myself), there is no need to loosen the smaller bolt at all, just loosen the main bolt itself. If you don't have air tools, and are not strong enough to loosen the bolt, then take out the small bolt I'm pointing to in that picture, and use tools to loosen the nut that is welded to the plate. It comes off easier than the bolt. After you loosen it, just re-align the plate, and put the smaller bolt back in.
And yes, that bolt releases the hub from the camber arm.

Yep, removing this bolt is pretty easy and once it's out, you can remove the shock entierly.

sorry im new to this type of suspension cause im so used to the ep3 suspension and i dont want to mess this up since its not my car that i will be working on. |
You don't have to remove the sway bar, just separate the endlinks from the hub and the sway itself.
Hey no worries. Once you are down there looking at it, it's 10x easier than the front and makes 10x more sense. Let me know if you have any other questions!
