I know this is an ancient video, but the top mount has an access panel perforated into the carpet, you just have to fold down the rear seats.

Here cause I can't find a Lincoln mark 8 video

[@ericquinn8003]

whats the torque specs for these 2 nuts?

[@motojaymn4131]

With mine it seem to have to hold the shock from spinning when tightening the nut on top

[@jacobgaytan863]

What’s the appropriate torque for tightening?

[@bigjrock05]

What size tools are you using

[@andrewmurray4597]

I know it's an old video but just what I need. but what do I do if I can't get the top nut off? got the bottom off but seems the top keeps spinning

[@brandonhill9795]

Probably has a retaining nut underneath the torque nut (crazy, I know). Place a 15mm wrench on the bottom nut, use a 17mm socket on the top nut. Once the top nut is removed, grab the top of the shaft with a vise grip and work the bottom nut off. So frickin' tedious.

[@brandonhill9795]

my bad. 9/16 on the bottom nut. Or just loosen it enough to cut the top off.
