Shimmy damper removal

[Bhump]

Who has removed a shimmy damper. Very difficult to reach.
I'm thinking of nose jack, and swing the nose gear up a bit to gain access to rr hardware. Any ideas?

It is one of the hardest things to do on a skymaster you can get to one of the bolts from the engine bay. Needle nose vice grips are a big help. 6 more inches of arm length and 2 extra fingers on at least one hand would help too!
