hey guys, I'm trying to do an install of new rear shock absorbers on my 2012 ram 1500. I've done shock installs before and never had any issues, but I can't seem to figure out how to loosen the top shock bolt. It's recessed from the frame enough that I can't get a socket on it, and there isn't enough room to fit in a wrench.
I've read some places that the nut is supposed to be welded to the frame and you just turn out the bolt, but when I crank on the bolt the nut turns with it, so I'm not sure if that's just BS or if maybe the weld broke free.
Any suggestions/comments if someone has done this before on this year truck would be appreciated. Thanks!
