The shocks are not under any pressure per se. They will be open commensurate with how the car is sitting. Undo the top nuts, then remove the four bolts securing the plate to the trailing arm, and lower the shock out.
To replace, just open the shock sufficient to pass through the top locating point. Ideally, a friend can then place a nut on whilst you hold things in position down below. You can go it alone if need be, just takes a little bit longer. :wink:

Brilliant idea. But how does that relieve the pressure from the shocks though?
