Default Front shocks

This is actually on my 93 ls400 but I wanted to ask a different set of people. I know alot of 430 owners used to have 400s.
I changed my air shocks to regular in front. I got the 3 top bolts in for the mount and the bottom is turned about 15* off so I cant get the bottom bolt to line up. I tried twisting it using a 3/8" extension for leverage but it just wont turn. Is there any way to get this darn thing to twist? The first one took alot of force to twist but it did, eventually.
Thanks


EDIT: Nevermind, I got the shock to turn enough to get the bolt through the holes and tighten it up. Everything is back together and it rides good enough.

Glad you got it in. You don't like the LS400 people?

Oh yea, much love for LS400 guys. Just figured I'd ask a different set of people, 2 brains are better then 1. I could have just asked in a Honda forum for ideas. Nah, I wouldn't do that.
