2003 DS rear shock replacement question

[CSWolf]

I'm planning to replace the rear shocks on the 2003 DS. Spartan chassis, Reyco/Granning IFS. Does anyone out there know the size of the bolts holding the shocks in place? I'm assuming some PB Blaster a day or so prior would be a good idea to help breaking them loose?

Try different sockets until you find one that fits (it will not be metric), use PB Blasterin advance, use a 1/2" air impact wrench with a sufficiently sized air compressor. Piece of cake.

Typically 3/4".

Welcome to the forum.
Here is a link with much information and this one by SPK64 redo's from QT's #3.

On my 2004, the bolt heads are 1-1/8"
Use a 1/2" air impact wrench with a strong air compressor. I did not use any lube prior to taking them off.
