All need some help here.. Tried removing my rear shocks this morning all good till i got to the final bolt at the base of the shock. Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not. Upon turning the bolt it looks like it screws into a nut of some sort. I beleive you need to put a socket on the bolt and a spanner on the nut to stop the whole thing turning. looking at the service manual i cant see this nut. Has anyone noticed this or can suggest something. Would prefer to do it myself. All efforts were exhausted trying to remove this bolt due to the nut on the other end turning as well. I guess i could remove the whole thing but i would still need to remove the bolt either way to put it through the new shock. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

dust urself off and try again

I did this last week, i put a spaner on the bolt and a breaker bar on the nut and then turned it till the spanner jammed up against the suspension somewhere can't remeber what it hit,, but that locked the bolt in place and i was able to loosen the nut.
