Shocks on a 2000 what? Some have shocks, some struts. If shocks, jack the car up and support it. Jack up on the rear wheel assembly enough to just take the pressure off of the shock and take it loose top and bottom. Rear wheel drive, the shock hold the rear end up when it is off of the ground. Front wheel drive may also depending on the make. Assume there is pressure down on the axle and jack it up before removing the old shock.
...since the question of how to replace rear shocks was for a 2000, and was in the "Lincoln Town Car" section, I assume the person asking was asking about a 2000 Lincoln Town Car. I have a 1995 Lincoln Town Car, that originally had an airbag rear suspension. I think the 2000's had airbag suspensions too. If so, is the trouble really with shocks or the air bags? When my airbags went out, I ended up swapping to a traditional coil spring & shocks setup, much cheaper than the ~$2000 I was quoted to fix the airbag problem...which MIGHT have been leaking airbags, MIGHT have been a computer control, MIGHT have been a bad compressor, or MIGHT have been a leak in the lines from the compressor at the front of the car to the air shocks at the rear. I had little faith in the shop that diagnosed it as a defective computer control unit ($1500 + labor), as I truly did not believe that unit had failed. Buying a rear suspension kit to replace the airbags, plus paying someone to put it in, ran me around $600.
