Default 2004 Honda Accord Wagon - Issue With Replacing Rear Shocks

Hey guys/gals,

I'm replacing the rear shocks on my 2004 Accord Wagon and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but at the top of the shock mount (so when you're looking at the top of the shock from inside the cabin) shouldn't there be 2 nuts to unscrew to loosen it? I can't see any.
Please see the attached photo of what I'm looking at. Any help would be absolutely valuable

I do not know anything about this. However, just looking at the picture, There seems to be space on the rod where maybe a hex key can go to hold the rod still while a wrench can turn the nut loose?? Before doing the top, shouldn't the bottom be taken care of first??

avisitor is correct in using a hex or allen wrench to hold the shaft and turn the nut off to release the top of the shocks.

Yea I tried that last night and the Hex input is starting to round so I'm going to have to pick up some Mole grips to prevent it from turning.
Will let you guys know how I go
