Ok, I don't know what they're called. But these front coil spring retainer things apparently have a 15mm bolt up inside of them. It is rusted and gnasty and I can't get a socket on there solidly even beating a socket on with a mallet.

Does anyone have any removal tips or even a way to cut these off and replace them or?? Some alternative?

Thanks, picture of what i'm talking about below, socket is on the bolt head i'm referring to.

Unscrew hole cup not nut.

Hey thanks, I thought that idea was working great but the cup was just spinning. I got it though, used one of those gimmicky gator grip sockets that's supposed to fit nearly any fastener and it worked like a charm. I bought that a while back and never used it until now but I'm impressed. Who knows if it'll last but it sure saved me some time on these.
