Default Front spring removal????

Ok, Ok I got bored, the race car is pretty much all ready for the spring and the ZR1 is sitting there all put away for the winter. I'm looking at the lowering wedges I've had for 3 years and I'm thinking.....hmmmmm
Well it is going pretty good so far, except figuring how to get on the top nut for the left side spring retaining bracket. It is the rear one and short of pulling the steering column, I can't figure how to get a 13mm wrench on it.
Anyone out there with the answer? I figure I have half the winter to screw it up and the other half to fix it. :crazy:

My brain is a little fuzzy right now but I think I used an open end and came from the backside of the crossmember. I don't recall having any real problems doing it so nothing really stuck to the brain.
:cheers:

Yup. That is what worked. Just need a long 13 mm open end. :hurray:
