I would place the side you are working on up on a jackstand. Use your hydraulic jack to raise and lower control/trailing arm to remove shock.

Do I have to make sure it doesn't rotate while doing top and bottom, or is that just for the front.

It's the piston rod that you need to keep from rotating. It has flat sides you can put a wrench on.

Also, is this just a matter of take of the nuts and the thing drops out, or will it still be hard to get out eventhought the weight of the car is off the shock.
As you can tell I have never fooled with it yet....

Not hard to get out.
