I am attempting to replace the rear shocks on our 2000 Bonneville SLE. I purchased the Monroe Max Air MA822 shocks per sight suggestion. Today I tried removing the 2 10mm bolts from the bottom of the shock assembly and they are stuck! I sprayed Sea Foam Deep Creep several times and they are still stuck. I tried a 10mm socket/wrench, 10mm box end wrench and also 3/8" drive 10mm impact socket/air driven impact driver....still stuck!...Guess I will let soak overnight and hope they come loose tomorrow. A buddy took a quick look at the bolts and suggested I just go ahead and twist them off an just get new bolts....(he thought the shock bottoms appeared to be threaded)....after looking at the new shocks it appears the bottoms of the shocks are not threaded...appears to be a bolt and clip type system....question is where can I get these (bolts and clips) if I break them off??? or is there an alternative bolt/nut suggestion? Thanks,

You can try heat to get them loose as well.

I assume Advance or Autozone might have replacements. Do a quick search on their site.

If you can't find the clips/bolts locally, I have a bunch here.
