Great video. I just want to point out that at 1:18 when it says _Required tool Combination spanner #18_ , unless I misunderstood (in which case I apologise), I see the number "21" on that spanner. It confused me in the next shot at 1:27 when it then shows _Required tool Drive socket #21_ undoing the same bolt.

Watched this video, bought new shocks because the old is so worn out. 1:17 looked easy in the video. But on my car this bolt is fastened by like 2000Nm. I've been jumping on the wrench for a minute and didn't move. I have to disconnect the lower arm next time to remove the spring, so that I can impact wrench the bolt. Also, my spring is closer to the bolt and has one or two more turns, no tools can fit there... yay. Update: The bottom last turn of the spring was broken so I had to replace both of them. This explains why I couldn't reach the bolt.

I have a similar problem. There isn't any way to put a wrench on because of the spring and once i did get the bolt out the angle of the shock isn't in line with bolt hole so it wants to cross thread and the knuckle is aluminum. I have done a lot of maintenance to this car and this is by far the worst shit i have dealt with

[@resetcoder]

@@olson4u2 there shouldn't be such thing the hole is not in line with the bolt threads, just compress in the shock a bit or lift the arm, it should get in line.

If someone buy adjustable shocks(with the adjustable crew on top side ,on shock) , how to have access on this crew???

Home mechanics dont usually own an Airgun , or a raising stand for the car ,

[@autodocuk]

We can't show you all the nuances and problems when replacing, it's all individual and can't always be solved at home. To avoid this, we always recommend having the replacement done at a specialized service facility.

What’s the purpose of using the shock absorber socket DD6?

[@autodocuk]

To unscrew the shock absorber support.

[@bighigh]

Installs lugs with airgun...

it’s not good practice, but it seems like every mechanic does lol
