I have trouble with only removing the bolt that holds the bottom of the shock to the lca. I found it easier to remove the bolt that holds the caliper and the rotor to the lca. In the pic above you cant see the bolt, the head is on the opposite side of the bottom shock bolt. Then ( for me) its easier because i had a friend jack the rotor/caliper up and I would step on the lca with my foot and the shock basically fell out. Thats the easiest way for me. Ask any more q's if you want will
