did a search but did find much help. i currently have a 99 GT rust bucket with 4 AGX struts and eibach springs. i want to put these on my non rusted GTP. i got the stock upper bolts on the shocks/struts out with my impact wrench no problem. i cant seem to get the bottom aftermarket cam bolts i had a local shop install out. the head is like an oblonged hex shape so im wondering is there a tool for this and what is it called? just looking if anyone has any tricks or hints, thanks GPF

there is no trick.... You just have to get the nut off the one end of the bolt, then tap the bolt out. You still hold a wrench on the head of the bolt like normal while removing the nut. Then thread the nut back on by hand and tap it with a hammer or if you've got a pin punch that would work better......
Those camber bolts were used because the new struts didn't come with oval holes in them for camber adjustment...

Air chisel with a large blunt end on the strut bolt nut end, it will drive it right through
