Default upper shock nuts

Any tips on tightening the upper shock nuts on my 69 fastback. Not much room for a wrench. Thanks in advance. HSB

I'm not sure what you mean by not enough room for a wrench. The threads should be sticking out of your shock towers in plain view. Maybe you could try putting the nuts on first, then attach the bottom of the shock last.

I think he is refering to the rear shocks. Racheting box wrench. 9/16 I think!

If it is the rear shocks, don't the fastbacks have those in the interior, and all you have to do is remove a rubber cap to get to it?

Thanks guys I guess I will have to invest in a good box wrench. Sorry if I was unclear re the fact that I was referring to the rear shocks.
