I asked this before, then review yoour answers, but still can't get these bolts out.

Both side now spin freely. Also, I notice that on either side of the shock eyelet are rubber isolators. I presume these locate the shock between the side of the trailing arm and give some damping against metalic knocking.

I had thought these were metal collars. No. Rubber. So, they don't appear to be holding the bolt.

My trouble is the bolts just will not back out of the assembly,to free the shock, even though they now spin.

I have even tried taking the weight off the shock; loosened one shock from its top mount -- there is no force against the bolt. Still I have hammered on the threaded ends forever and they don't budge.

And they don't unscrew.

What's up with these things?
