Figure out the size of the top nut and get one of those wiz-bang
ratcheting box wrenches, assuming there is room to get it over the bolt
on the shock. It gets a little tight. In my experience, even if you
can get a socket long enough to reach the nut, you probably won't be
able to get a ratchet on it, unless...

You might also consider (let others here comment on this) removing the
wheel well lining. I didn't even think of it at the time, but read
about it a few months ago in connection with something I was
considering. I wondered whether that might have made life easier with
the front shocks, especially with the top nuts. Just a thought; I have
no idea what would be involved.
