Let's keep up with the topic guys

I'm trying to remove the lower bolt on the rear shock. No way, the deep socket starts slipping, looks like it's very tighten. Any hint ? Shall I try on the bolt head side

OMG! I see now

PLEASE go edit the original topic and specify to put the box on the BOLT'S head, not on the nut. This will save for much effort and frustrations. Not every one knows that on rear shock the lower bolts shall be losen by the bolt's head - it's not the first car i'm doing this but I just forgot it. Trying to turn the Nut it's pain in the @ss since it's either a lock nut either a soldered nut.

Open box wrench and some COJONES with it

........find a mechanic that can do the install.

No offence, but if you are having trouble just removing the rear nut/bolt, id hate to see when you when you move to the front.

I don't know, maybe the ranch dressing is getting to me..

Sometimes if the nuts / bolts are overlly tight you can link two wrenches together (box end of one wrench linked into the open end of the other) - provided you dont have a breaker bar. This works fairly well most times and ive never had trouble rounding off the heads of either the nut/bolt. The shocks on my truck when I bought it were probably still original circa 1970 and this method worked like a charm cause I didnt have room for a breaker bar.

Just watch your knuckles.
