Front shock bolt removal?
I'm replacing my shocks and the front shocks bottom bolts are giving me a hard time. I can't get them to budge, maybe they were torqued to tight. They are 1/2" correct? I just want to make sure, I'm afraid I might strip them. I thought this would be an easy job. Any tips would be appreciated.
TIA,
Joe

Front lower shocks are mounted with two bolts and nuts. I thought they are 13mm heads.
Put your socket/ratchet on the nuts from the bottom first in order to loosen them up.
