How the heck do you..... ???? (Suspension Compressor)

Trying to remove the Compressor Bracket on my 2008 LR3....
Cover and lower two bolts off with ease.
What's the trick to getting that top bolt off?
I've tried to reach it with a both socket and a spanner (wrench) and no success!

Thanks!
I was just trying to put a new end cap/rebuild my old Hitachi which is still running fine.
Wasn't planning on putting in an AMK...

Obviously put on the frame rail before the body panels with no thought of servicing the thing.

Correct length socket /ext bar will reach. Needs some messing around, but it's possible.

I'm with Bardley, I used a universal end on the extension and you can get it undone. Putting it back, now that's different Embarassed

I'm not sure why, but that top bolt is not Moving.
I checked Disco_Mikey's thread and used a Socket+Extention. No Joy.
I tried a Spanner (Wrench USA). Won't budge.
Since I only plan to replace the Dryer End Cap THE NEW PLAN is replace in place for now.
I was successful in getting the End Cap Off and both Filters out.
My plan is to make a Duct Tape and Cardboard Dam for the replacement beads covering about 75% of the end of the Dryer. I figure I can get 80-90% of them and push them back with the filter?
Never saw this attempted in other threads but I'm going to try it.

On another note, I don't think the old ones look too bad for 10 years.



Note: No Cracks in the End Cap as some have noted. Just some leaky fittings.
The Mailman is due here is about an hour.
Lunch Break time.

Compressor back together and no leaks

Compressor is back together and no leaks.
Down to ONE DTC - C1A34
Reading another post it appears the issue may be on of the two wires here:
Orange or Purple feed to the RR Valve (Rear Valve Block)
