69 coronet 500 rear shock upper bolts

Paul Becker · Oct 13, 2018

Hey all.
I am having trouble removing the upper , rear shock mount bolts. The rear nuts are not accessible by a deep socket(3in) or a standard, the bolt sticks out to far. Do they make a 2 in deep socket?, it seems like nothing else will fit in that small space because of the trunk pan. This seems like a simple job, but I'm struggling( doesnt help that that they are rusted in solid).

thanks, Paul

Offset box wrench works.

Just throwing this up here so folks can see what he's referring to.
Shocks are on the to-do list for me also. Not looking forward to it.

Suggestion: Buy a cheap six point deep socket, then cut it down to the desired length. Might stay together long enough to get the job done?

It is very tight up there on my 69 Charger. I've debated dropping the gas tank.
