RE: Rear shocks

I haven't seen a factory shock on the mustang but on my crown vic i cut the outer part of the shock with tin snips then I had room to lock my vise grips on the shaft.

RE: Rear shocks

now that i think about it it should have a slit to place a flat head so you can spin it with a wrench.

Use an impact wrench on it, you won't even have to hold anything, just the trigger

RE: Rear shocks

I was able to get them off with a ratchet with someone holding the bottom under the car. I had to use an impact to get the new ones snug enough.
