Access to upper shock mounts and bolts is behind the rear seat. Before attempting to remove the upper bolt, clean threads with wire brush, spray well with penetrating oil, use special shock bolt socket or a pair of vise grips on the oval top of the shock bolt. As the nut comes off spray again with oil. DO NOT remove the lower mount first, as this will help hold the shock while the upper nut is removed.
