The upper shock mount nuts on a 505 sedan are in the boot, just
behind the rear seat. They are covered by plastic covers that
are part spherical in shape. Removing them is easy and you
immly. have access to the nuts.
There is no need to either remove the seat or the fuel tank or
anything else for removing/replacing rear shocks on a 505 sedan.
