Title: Help Quick! Rear Shock Removal
Post by: ADavis on January 27, 2007, 06:52:33 PM

hey all,

I'm replacing my rear shocks and I can't get the top bolt off of the shock.  How do you get this off.  It didn't look like it would be that stubborn but it is.  I'm using my phuenmatic wrenches and it is just not coming off.  Do you cut it off? Thanks

Use a Vise grip to hold the TIP of the threads (there is a Square spot)
and use an ENDWRENCH.
is that quick enough? ;D

Worked, Thanks Hotrod.  I can't believe what a difference the Crown vic shocks make in the back.  I rides so nice now.

Thanks again, ;D

I know you got it done, but for those people that live more north and have rusty parts, a hack-saw or angle grinder works nice too ;) Just cut right above the bushing washer and into the nut.
