yes.... Undo the two bolts on the lower cushion. Remove the lower cushion by lifting the front up and puching the back down and then sliding towards the front of the car. Then remove the 5 bolts I think at the bottom of the back cushion. Lift this up and it should be free then. The strut tops are now visible. fitting is the reversal of removal

Also note phill YOU HAVE to be very carfule when putting the seats back in (or out of for that matter) the car... So easy to catch the paint work in the door shut as you put seats back in..

Put some carpet or Blanket over all SCratchy bits
