Shock Removal

Shock Removal
Is there a trick to loosening the lower shock bolt WITHOUT having to take off the brake rotor. The outer 17mm is in easy position to get a socket on, but the nut on the other side turns in its housing with no apparent way to clamp it, while the rotor is in place. (for those of you have never removed the caliper bracket, that is no easy task without a hoist and air-wrench.)

i dont feel like going out and looking but i guess you cant get a wrench onto the nut on the other side of the strut?

[QUOTE=GGENIUS;8507285]whats so hard about it? i replaced my left rear bracket without a problem, with only a ratchet and socket.
The main bracket bolts for the caliper very often seize and brake at removal.
