How to change shocks in a 85 s10 blazer?

I have to replace the rear shocks....the bolts at the top are really hard to get off due to lack of room....I didnt know if anybody had and tips on how to get those bolts off. Thanks for any helpHow to change shocks in a 85 s10 blazer?
Use an open end wrench instead of a socket. and attach a pipe to the wrench to make it easier to open. Also, the lower nut might turn as well, so attach anther wrench to it. And hold one while turning the other.How to change shocks in a 85 s10 blazer?
just use a air ratchet with a short socket .. That is best way .. i changed my sockets in 30 minutes in the front and 20 minutes in the back ..having the right tools and a good place to work makes a world of difference also spray the bolts with some wd-40 to start with will ease things a bit .
