its actually the top of the shocks that normally give hassle cos ya have to stretch into the boot to get at them | |

Yeah and if its the bottom bolts that are the problem (ones on the trailing arm) dont worry about cross threading as you can always drill it out and use a slightly longer bolt and stick a new nut on the head of the nackered drilled out nut which is tac welded to the trailing arm if you get me... | |

use yer 17mm spanner as normal but lock another spanner onto the end of it so u have more leverage. That will get them out. | |

if your not using the shocks your removing, then use a blowtorch to heat up the bolt & it should become free. | |

try a torque wrench or a normal racthet n socket get more 'power' from one of those rather than a combi spanner... and spray some sort of solvent cleaner (carb cleaner, etc) on the bolt maybe it'll loosen it up?! If the bolt wont budge it might of been cross-threaded.. :| | |

Right im trying to change my rear shocks, but the bolts are seized i think, they just wont come off, even tried hammering the spanner. |
