Default Can't change shock

17' Sportster 48.... I can't freaking believe it I'm sitting here trying to change my shocks and the bottom bolt nut keep spinning. There is no way to get a wrench there because this part of the swingarm seems to run right under the bolt and.dosnt let a.wrench get on and the socket is too big


and won't fit..WTF..can't believe this.

I use a 3/4 open end wrench. Its a tight fit, but once the nut is in the right position it will slip on.
