    I am trying to upgrade the shocks on my tacoma 2009 but 1 of the 3 nuts on the top hat is refusing to come out. There is very little space back there to get leverage. It is the one in the back. Any pointers on how to get it out?

    Thank you Sladesdaddy, on the lower control arms, I only loosen one nut, but the control arm is not sliding down. Is there a second nut that I need to loosen?

    I'll look tomorrow sorry about the late response but I believe it's just the one bolt and a hammer to break it free
