Hey I’m looking to replace my shocks. I also have the quad shocks in front. I want better then OEM. Looking at NAPA , Monroe brand. Also my steering stabilizer Excellent video as always I will look at the links provided
Hey Axle, I just got new shocks for my 1990 K5 and I having difficulty getting the rear driver's side shock off. With the gas tank in the way, I can't find a way to get a ratchet or wrench back there to take the nut off. I was hoping you could give me a short explanation of how you got that shock off. Thanks, and keep the videos coming there a huge help! - Dan
I just did this myself and I was wondering if that's why Axle doesn't show the driver's side replacement. I was able to get a breaker bar on the nut that is near the gas tank, but I couldnt get any leverage on it. I ended up getting a cutting wheel (Angle grinder) and cut the bolt/nut from the front side and then just punched it out the back. It worked really well.
I just got a little creative with an extension and swivel. Didn't have an issue so I didn't think it was worth showing, especially with the tough video angles. Yes harder than the passenger side, I admit. Thanks for Watching.
Thank you so much for this, I was not sure on the order of the washers.
Is there a place where i can buy just the bolts? I cant find a shock that comes with the bolts, since my k5 has a 4" lift
Hardware store. When I buy new, I used Grade 8, helps with future rust issues.
Awesome blazer
Thank you!
Gonna do this as soon as im all healed up great video.
Thanks for watching.
What are you healing from? I'm healing from a torn anus.

@@nickkruse7562 how did you tighten the new nut though?
My bolts are froze on. How did you get yours off if froze on?
Penetrating oil, if not then maybe a little heat.
where did you get the soft top
Soft-topper. Video coming soon. Thanks for watching.
@@AxlesGarage I bought two 88 blazers for my two oldest dummies.
Glad you get my humor (Fatherly affection)
Hey You need to spray and coat the frame and underneath with some Woolwax.
Yes sir, it does need some attention. Thanks for watching
Wondering what size the lower bolt was?
I think it was a 3/4 nut, if you still need the exact size, I'll go measure it.
@@AxlesGarage I figured it out! Thank you!
I never saw a picture of the shock
I forgot to add it when editing. Sorry.
