We made our own wrench with a ratchetiong box end and welded a long metal handle on it. Makes it a little easier.

Thanks for the reply way2old. I did just that yesterday (used hose clamps) and it worked.
I also removed the tire so I could get in a little better.
I paid for my shocks at a auto parts place and checked around to have them put on.
$185.00 to $220.00 was what I had tossed at me. Now I saved enough to fill my tank.

I ran into that same problem. Mine were seized on there enough that they had to be cut off. I took it to a local shop and they replaced all 4 for me for $50 labor. I provided the parts.
