ok well I have searched and it seems that no one is having my problems anyways for the rear suspension the lower shock bolt and it keeps twisting, I see the grooves on the "nut" but I just cant get the two apart, I would use my air ratchet but the gun is too big to get in there, and I cant use a cheater bar because theres no room??? any hellp
 
this is what i did my impact wrench fit but i just started to unscrew it the took an open ended wrench and put it right behind the bolt to help it come out kinda prying it out it worked fine for me
 
ok heat it up with what? I dont understand the bolt it self? Also I dont understand my impact wrench wont fit it is like a centimeter too big so now what? I guess ill try just a regular wrench and the prying thing but like does the require 2 people?
 
If heating it doesn't work, your going to have to cut the bolt with a grinder. You should have new bolts that came with the shocks.

Do you have the shock and spring off the car? Or r u tryn to us the car to keep the spring compressed? You can buy spring crimps for 20 bucks at Advance auto, or Auto zone.
 
no i am taking the stockers off, 110 miles on em, I didnt know they came with new bolts LOL woops ya ill just do that hehe much easier dang im stupid. LOL thanks again guys.
