[FC] SHOCKS

[ken caskey]

First buy a six pack of your favorite beer. Drink two before even jacking up
the van. 
Remove the wheel, remove the heater duct, and now remove all small children
within earshot of your working area as you will most likely at some point
scream some very unsavory words at your van, the engineers and designers of
your van, and anyone associated with the lame brain idea they came up with
for access to top bolt on the shock.
Now before you start to try and remove the rusted nut located in the
inaccessible area at the top of the shock-- go have 2 more beers.
Now return to your van and as you struggle with rust penetrates, wrenches,
and other cleverly thought out tools and methods of your own creation, you
will need to stop take a deep breath and consume the last two beers.
Put all the tools away and roll out the oxygen/acetylene torches. Use the
blue wrench to remove the top nut on the shock.  Now you will likely need a
nap.  Once you awake from your nap you can, with a clear mind, install the
new shock.

It worked for me!!!
