126 Shock R&R, Emergency

[GradyService]

I am in a jam with my 560. I started to remove the front shocks this afternoon after getting off of work. I got to the lower mount and now I am somewhat lost. Am I suppose to remove both of the lower bolts and, if so, what size are they? I was thinking something like a 11mm 12 pt., but I bought one and It doesn't fit. I really need the car back together tonight, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you, Dave.

I'm thinking that I remember that they are 10mm, 12 pt. You will want to get a cheapo 10mm box end and grind the outer portion of it to fit.
good luck

i always used a 1/2" drive 10mm with a long extension and a breaker bar. unfasten the top of the shock and tip it out of the way first forward then backward. installation is reverse of removal.

works like a charm.
