I know it's only one on the top and one on the bottom. But I have no idea of how to remove the bottom bolt on the shocks. The lower control arms seem to be in the way and it doesn't look like I'll be able to get a socket on the nut. Maybe I'm missing something.......

Its much easier than you make it out to be. Its like an 18mm and a 15mm i think and the top is 15 i believe. Its a really easy job

Is there enough room to get a wrench on it?
