yeah, but you have to be able to unscrew them first... by just lifting the car with a jack, the length of a standard wrench is not sufficient, you have to lift the car to have the lever arm

It's great, I didn't know it was so easy to mount and dismount shock absorbers, thanks for the advice, I'll see next month to order them from you.
