Mardsen shock link nuts removal?
 

1 Attachment(s)
How are you supposed get the shock link nuts off the spring mount on a ‘41 Ford, I ended up using a chisel. I was able to get one side tight with a thin stumpy box wrench, I couldn’t get anything on the drivers side, I modified an old Globemaster(remember them) socket see my pictures. I seem to spend more time making/modifying tools then actually getting things done.
Is there a factory tool for these?

I have always used a six point box wrench with no issues.
