Rear shock nut won't come off help!

[rfkellner@snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Eric,
    Hopefully someone will have some hints for you for the top nut.  I had
no problem with those, it was the bottom ones that would not come out.  I
got the nut off without a problem but the bolt would not come out of the
shock.  Before you trash the top, i.e. if someone recommends cutting, make
sure you can get the bolts out of the lower end on both.

One last comment, has it soaked in PB Blaster?
