How do you tighten the rear nut on a rear shocker top mount

[Simonscissorhands]

I need to tighten the nut and bolt on the top mount of the rear shocker ,but i cant get a socket or spanner on it .??
Any ideas please..

Take the wheel off, then you should be able to get a socket on the end you can see. Then you will need to put a spanner on the inner nut.

I think i did it by facing the spanner to the front of the van......although just thinking about it now, isn't it a retaining nut so you dont need a spanner? I cant remember to be honest.

Top mount of rear shock is a bolt. The nut is attached to the top mount. If yours isnt then its broken.
