open rear hatch
lift carpet
remove 4 rubber plugs (two each side)
remove bolts in holes

Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

If the mounts are bent up from a rear-ender, you may have to give the whole assembly a big jerk to get it out (even with the mounting bolts removed). If you know any big jerks, have them handy.
