This was not as bad as I was thinking. With the deck as low as it will go, you can access the bottom of the damper cylinder to pop the clip off. There's an access hole for the T-40 torx fastener holding the top of the cylinder, that you can get to by raising the seat forward. I had taken the top plate off to investigate what broke, but the cylinder could likely be replaced without removing it. Install the cylinder from underneath, slide it on the lower mount point, use a screwdriver through the access hole to get the top of the cylinder lined up right, reinstall the T-40 fastener. It took some fumbling to get the clip reinstalled on the bottom, just due to the angle and it being a little difficult to access. You cant see what you're doing.
