with some heat got the buggers undone, now found that the bush sleeves are rusted to the bolt as i undo the bolt it opens up the shock bracket.what do you mean gromit, cut the bolt heads off and then spread the socket to get them out.do you mean open the bracket up,if so i can do that by undoing the bolt right out then chop the heads off.ta.

Yep thats what you need to do mate, sounds drastic but no other way. I actually cut through the top shocker eye, removed the shocker then cut through the rubber to make room to cut the bolt head off.

Of course this only works if you have new shockers and new bolts to put back on :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

With a 2'' bodylift I managed to get my impact driver onto the top bolts and they removed quite easily with the help of some plusgas a few hours before. Thank god for my compressor
