It took a tourch and air gun to get them off. The ASE took the nut off, tourched the bolt and spun the bolt with his air gun at the same time. Red hot, the bolt finally came out of the sleeves. The rubber on the old shock melted.
He put on axle grease, per my request when it was reassembled. Two hours on the lift. Also found the front tranny seal leaking badly, makes for a great undercoat. The tranny only leaks when in gear, under pressure.
Thanks for the tips,

Klaus
