Re: Bilstein B6 rear shocks installation issue

I had a similar problem when I installed my Tokico D-Specs. This may or may not work for you but I lucked out. Like tech line said, jack up the axle on one side, all the way up. Fully compressing the shock upward. Then I crawled into the rear trunk thru the rear seats. I had the nut for the top of the shock already inside the socket that fit it. Used my body weight on top of the socket and twisted slowly but firmly until it caught some threads but be careful not to cross thread. Once I got enough twists that the nut would hold on by itself, I let the ratchet do the rest of the work. Good luck with it.

Repeat for other side.
