    Hello again guys
    Im about to replace my rear shocks and have a few Q's. I tried this morning but the exhaust is in the way on the upper screws and I found it hard to go about it any other way without taking the whole car appart. Now the exhaust will come off real soon anyway so that is not a problem but is there an easier way to get to those shock mounting nuts on top of the spring bracket instead of fiddeling from underneath?
    Thank ya :TU:

    If they never been changed :eek2: , they are supposed to have clip-nuts under them. First soak them down with WD-40 or some other pentrating oil.

    If they are nuts, you will have to hold them with a boxed-wrench.

    Since the exhaust is coming off soon anyway, take a saws all and get rid of the tail pipes if they are in the way.
