Is it that you just can't get at it? I used a floor jack with a piece of 4x4 lumber and went up under the front frame where the stabilizer bar mounts. Once you get the springs spread to right distance you can reach in with a long extension.
If the question is how do I get it off if it's spinning, that's a little tougher.

that might work if i can find an offset 18 mm one. the nut is off the one to the left but the bolt is still there so i need something angles to get at it. but idk if a box end wrench will give me enough torque. i alright jacked my left hand up. thumbnail fell off, index nail has a hole in it since socket slipped and fingernail went right into corner of bumper and lots of cuts, not trying to mess my whole left hand up lol

[QUOTE=rtralabama;720901]Drivers side, you're trying to take the weight off the coil spring so it will expand and give you room. You'll have to play around with how much to lift it to give you a somewhat straight shot at the nut.
