Lowering my vert... HELP!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I'm trying to take the stock strut assembly off the rear of my vert. I can't get to one of the bolts on the of the strut tower inside the trunk. how do you get to that bolt? There is a brace in the way and I can't get a socket or wrench in there. I can get the wrench on the bolt, but there isn't enough room to move it. HELP!

ok, I got a wrench in there, i can only turn it like 1/4 at a time, but here we go...

Do you know the big wrench on a little wrench trick? You may get more than a 1/4 inch turn if you do.

Remove the back seat for easier access.

yea I know how to link them. I guess you'd have to see the extra bracing in the vert. On the back bolt, from the trunk, there isn't hardly any space. I got it done now, but the back was a pain.
