rite people i have just got some adjustable top mounts so i went to change them over got me self a 19mm deep ring spanner you know the one at an angle but i still can't get to the nut the nut is to low and no room to get the spanner on the nut, what are my options?
1. Go to a garage and just get them to get the topmount off using a air gun,will that undo the nut?
2. What would you lot do?
There spax coilovers if that helps?

Take it you mean you have a swan neck spanner? As in the same shape as these :

If yes and you can't get them with that you may well need to use an air gun. Have you tried a socket on them? If not, get a breaker bar and use a mallet/hammer to try and shock it free.
