my shortcut is if the old shocks are kinda rusted and the top bolts arent going to come off too easy stick a ratchet and socket on there i think its 9/16 and bend the thingg to one side then try to ratchet it some and do it the other way after a few times the shank with the nut on it will snap off its usually easier than having the shock turn and ya cant get a vise grip in there to hold the thing... so it makes it easier
