I am trying to remove the front left drivers side shock. The steering components are in the way from me getting a wrench on the 24mm nut. Tried to go at it from the bolt head side towards the firewall but so little room to wrench and loosen the bolt.
Anyone have any any tips on removal of the front shock?

I had put a 30 degree bend on long 24 mm boxed edge wrench.Got a purchase on the nut from the top ,moved an 1/8 of a turn and managed to get the bolt out.
Good luck, very doable

Thank you. Do you have a picture of your wrench that you bent?
