Hi, I went to change out my rear shocks on my MAzda CX5 2014 and the darn rear spring is in the way of getting a wrench on the lower bolt holding the shock in. Is is there a special tool or trick here for the "easy installantion" ? Thanks

 

Use a spanner to loosen the nut, then use another spanner to unwind the stud.

 

Thanks, after adjusting the up/down ob=n the trailing arm, I got room to get n closed end wrench on the 19mm bolt head and used some good wacks with a soft hammer to get it loosened up and it came off fairly easy. AN aside, there are two different shocks produced for the 2015 CX5 model, they changed the size in April 2013 and then went to a bigger hole/bolt size on the bottom of the shock. When buying for this year, the parts person should ask what the manufacture date of the vehicle is.

Thanks for the help!
