chock the back wheels to keep the fx from rolling back.
then jack up the front.
remove the two bolts that hold the brake assy in place. once you remove the bolts push the brake assy out of the way and simply pull the rotor off.
the next step is removing the two bolts that hold the shock assy to the bearing assy. i forgot to take a pic of that step.
then remove the three bolts that hold the shock assy . the bolts arte located in the engine bay.
remove the brake line that connected to the shock assy and just pull the shock out the way.

the rear shocks shouldnt make a difference.

Rear shocks are basically the same, they don't have a tab for the brake line or anything. The top mounts aren't directional and neither is the lower mount, so it's the same.

The R stands for rear. They're both the same and is fine. I went through some old photos of my BCs just now and I had the same V03 R like yours.

time to roll that rear fender and space the wheels out a bit 
the handling as improve a whole lot. when i drive it hard its very stable. just say a turn that i would take at 60 mph and i well feel the back slipping. now i take it at 80 mph and i am in full control no slipping in the back that's good.
