Working on fitting rear suspension and can’t get the top shock bolt free, unfortunately don’t have access to a ramp so limited with space for longer bars etc and quickly running out of wd40.
Any other ideas to get these free? Or best reassemble and find someone with a ramp to free them?
Not even attempted driver side space looks really lacking to even get a ratchet in with the heat shield
Cheers

WD40 is crap. Get some decent penetrating fluid on them. Either Pluszgas or the special WD40. Leave it on and re apply often then give it a go.

Get yourself some Bulldog BDX.
You won't find a better penetrant.
