So are there any tricks or tips for replacing the rear shock-absorbers on the 100/200/5000 Quattro models? Or is it a relatively straight forward process?

much the same as the front, first clamp the spring the rest is strait forward

It turned out to be a relatively simple.

Much simpler than the spring compressor routine. Unbolt the top, unbolt the bottom, replace in the reverse order.
