Thanks but the problem is not one of clearance. It is that there is too little landing at the top of the piston. Here is another picture. The bolt is nylocked and is turning the shaft at this point.
This angle is generous as the photo is taken above the nut. Access on the car is from below. While contemplating various fixes one that comes to mind is a set of pliers for rubber pipe. I may be able to clamp a bushing tight enough to overcome the nylock bushing friction and get the landing on the piston shaft exposed. It is still a design flaw though.
