Need help removing font suspension

I have removed everything ICON has said to remove and now I am on to the shocks themselves.

Does anyone know the best way to get to the rear bolt on top of the shocks (3 total)? Its a PIA because the breaker bar is to tall for back there and the 6in wrench doesn't have enough torque.

Any suggestions? I'm so close to finishing this upgrade!

I used a ratcheting 14mm on the nut, and then I hooked another open end wrench to the end of the ratcheting one for leverage.
 
Ill give it a try

.....I tried, Still the ratchet is to tall. I cant get the 14mm to attach to the racket

Just used wrench...while pushing on it grab a hammer and hit the open side...with pushing hard and a few taps it should break loose.
 
I used some "Liquid Wrench" on there, let it sit for a few hours and it came off fairly easily with just an open-faced wrench. Same thing on my buddy's, both were at 90k miles and the bolt hadn't been touched before.

^^This. I just installed some OME's today, this method worked well for me after all else had failed. I had the ratcheting wrench, didn't help much by itself. A few taps with a hammer convinced it to break loose.
