I Just replaced the rear drop links on my 2001...
Steve's procedure is correct, however, prepare yourself for some heavy pounding etc if the top shaft (attached to the shock) is frozen in place.
It took me a few hours of banging and oiling and even heating with torches to get the top shaft to break free so it could be removed.
Actually had to remove calipers to be able to get at the bolt from opposite side to help ease it out.

Once its out though, the new one went in quick and the reassembly is simple...
