Question Rear Shocks

Trying to replace rear shocks on S70 (AWD-nonNivomat) to no avail. Suspension does
not have mounts that bolt onto body. They bolt to the body top and bottom with nut on shock. But how to loosen nut. There is no way to get a wrench on to the bolt and hold the piston from turning at the same time. OEM Sachs 9461631. Code(#9)

Is there a special tool or am I missing something?

Ted

Usually there is a tool for doing it. Like a hollow socket with an insert that holds the shaft.
