After doing suspension install on this model Corolla a few times and watching several other install videos, you mention the part that everyone gets stuck on: the rear shock bottom bolt. Taking the 22mm isn't the problem, it's sliding the lower shock mount off the stud. I've seen most other videos show them taking the 22mm off, then taking the 12mm stud out (eg your video). Let me tell you, that stud is in super tight and not only a hassle w/ long reach tools, but you're going to have one heck of a time getting regular impacts (num/elec) in there AND putting it back in. There's a better method than what you described at 14:14. You should pull out the 14mm bolt at the top of the spindle instead. The 17mm nut on the other side will generally stay put until you get things loose, then you can use a 17mm to hold it. The reason why this is so important for everyone trying to get the shock off the stud is the 20degree downward angle (one other tuber mentions this that I know of however he goes about it the wrong way by trying to hit it off w/ force) This allows to spindle to freely rotate and consequently, the angle of that lower bolt. Once you have that top bolt of the spindle assembly off, it's super easy to slide on and off; you don't even need to take off the lower ctrl arm, spring or even conecting rod. (but you might want to remove that support rod for wrenching room). The other part that will come in helpful is having a secondary scissor or bottle jack to push up on your spindle as this helps align your suspension mounting holes and allows you to screw everything back together. I'll try to post this on other Corolla install videos as it is really the only thing that I see frustrates the install.

at this point bro, we need you to show us. I do not follow. At a loss for the 14mm bolt you speak of

I didn’t even know you could take that shock stud off. I was able to complete one side but it took forever. Going to tackle the other side today 🤞
