I guess I'll add, slop a finger load of grease onto the shock studs when you are done to fight off the road grime and salt, give you a better chance at easy removal later on.
How much space is there from the wheel well on the 2002? I'm trying to find a pic of it, but after my last shock replacement I made a 'long reach' ratching wrench (snap on makes one, I made it out of a 5 dollar (now a lot more) princess auto ratching wrench (reversable, just in case) and a piece of emt). The box has enough space to work it from the wheel well, you still need the vice grips on the shaft but you can work it a lot easier).
[elbow wrench. heres the closest I found. The snap on version, and mine, have about a 2' long handle]
