The shocks and the upper a arms are the same unit. The arms will be on either side of a housing that has a cap on the ends . A shaft runs through it from side to side and cams force the fluid through some valves. There will be a square plug on top that you can unscrew, I think it is a 1/4" or something like that.
In practice one side is more accessible from the top than the other, but you can do both from the top. Sometimes there is a rubber flap covering them to keep slop thrown up by the wheels from entering the engine compartment. Be sure to clean around the plug before you unscrew it to keep dirt out
I just read your post again The hood is kind of small on a "41 and it is a long way down there. If you are stymied it may be easier to go through the side.
Clear as mud?
