Question ?Front bumpstops?

I was just wondering if any of you guys ever changed your front bumpstops.
I was trying to put in my new bumpstops, but I could barely get one off much less put in the new ones.
Any tricks or advice on how to take off or put on the bumpstops.
Any help would be appreciated.

What truck?

My '78 F250 4x4 bumpstops had a treaded stud coming up from the bottom of the frame, and held on with a nut. Simple swap. . .

We call them "Bumperettes" Up here.

Use plenty of liquid wrench for about a week then try and remove the nuts

Unbolting the nut isn't the problem, it's getting to them. It's like they are boxed in and there are 2 little holes one being bigger than the other and you can't get to the nut from the big one, just the little one. I got one out, but now I can't put a new one in. I can't reach it to start the nut.
