Default What exact trunk parts need to be removed for rear strut installation

I am having my mechanic replace front and rear struts on the 2006 SC430 (I went with OEM Lexus parts). I want to remove the rear trunk parts so that it is as simple for him as possible
There is a thread that shows a pdf of the entire rear trunk. Which parts need to be removed so he can access the top to the struts. I am assuming its ONLY , the center trunk liner and ONLY the two side covers...Is that correct?
Does anyone have the official Lexus instructions on rear strut replacement...
Thanks all
see slide number 8 in the thread

The attached is from an EBay repair manual purchased way back when. It may shed some light on what you are looking for.

Default Is that for an SC430

Wow, Sounds like all of the trunk lining comes out to access the top of the struts. Is that the case..Anyone that has done the rear struts,please verify if all needs to be pulled..Thanks for the pdf.

You pretty much need to remove the trunk center section to gain access to the dampeners...I removed everything then took it to the shop. They did the rest. After I picked it up, I reinstalled the trunk covers

It is not difficult and takes about 15min to remove

Check the picture on post #51 of https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...install-4.html
You have to remove enough to get to parts 12 and 13 in the photo. Hope this helps.

Hello Sixonemale,

I'm a new SC430 owner and have searched ebay for the repair manual, but the only thing available are paper manuals. Would you happen to have the link from the auction you used, or willing to share a copy of your pdf file? Thanks for your time.

Hello,

I have a 2002. And it wouldn't matter what year, as I imagine there are small changes between the years. more of just face lifts.
