New here... Need to replace the rear shocks (or struts?). Has leaf springs so I don't think it will be too hard, but rusted so bad the bolt heads won't even fit in a socket. Has unibody and wanted to sand that and paint before I get new ones in there.
If I can get 3 (of 4) bolts loose do you think I could take the last one to a shop for them to drill and tap? Or will they want to do the whole job?
Trying to do myself but that one bolt is bad and I wanted to clean up the rust while the bolts are out... Not too bad but I don't want the unibody to go bad so I'd like to spray it now... I hate unibodies... But it's what I got.

Any help apriciated... Thanks.
