Thats what I did along with kind of turning the shock a bit once the first bolt is out of its base. Then I used a 12 point wrench but a socket would just fit once I got the bolt started with the wrench I finished with a socket.

My 10mm 3/8 drive Craftsman socket seemed to be 12 points and grab the bolts.


Like all suspension work it is a royal pita, I hate suspension work.
