What size bolts????

[03SLVRMSP]

hey guys, i need a little help... i am trying to get my stock springs back onto my car for the winter... only problem is i have tried 2 times now to get the shock assemblies out. the lower bolts on the shock just wont come loose. so i am resorting to cutting them off. what size bolts will i need to replace those? thanks

don't cut them off. the bolts may be spinnig with the nuts. make sure the bottom of the bolt is secure, maybe try to use vice grips. we are talking about the four bolts on the mounting rubber, on top of the assembly right?

thanks for the reply but no i mean the lower bolts. the ones that sit right behind the brake caliper.

oh ok, i think one is like a 15mm and the other a 14mm, it's missmatched. can't recall right now but refere to this, it might help. http://www.mazdaspd.com/manuals.html#ENG
