Default Rear Shock Removal/Bump Stop Replacement

Hi.

I have to replace the bump stops on my rear shocks (TDi Elegance Oct Estate).
How do you undo the shock top bolt?
Do you need to get it from inside by removing trim panel?
Or can you remove the socket thing 2-bolts at top of wheel arch then drop shock down and undo top bolt?

Thanks in anticipation as I hope to do it tonight when I get home as I got 2 new ones from the Stealers this am (and they were @ £15 each) for a bit of foam!!!

You just undo the two 16mm bolts inside the wheel arch, the top then drops down and the strut nut is under a black plastic cap.
