LT a arm question (removing shock from lower mount)

[bad01300ex]

I have an older set of LSR 250R LT a arms kinda like leagers ect. Im rebuilding it right now.

When i took the shocks off i had to stick a screwdriver in the side where the nut is to stop it from turning because it is a 17mm and i couldnt get the socket down there.

How am i supposed to tighten them up??

Yea I had the same problem with my JB arms, it requires a special nut, so you can use a smaller socket. The nuts are similiar to the ones used for the top shock bolt with and integrated washer. I want to say its a 14mm nut on my arms.

Samething happend to me on a set of LT a-arms, except it was a 14mm nut. I had to grind down the socket for it to fit.

ok thanks, yea a 14mm is the largest socket that will fit in them

where can i get that nut?
