on the top of the strut there are two bolts the top is slightly smaller, and you need to hold one bolt while turning the other to get the shock off IIRC

Use a long extension on your socket wrench so that you can get leverage on it. If you haven't already, go spray lots of WD40 on the nut thats welded in at the back.....

yer u need the power of heman to undo it, both me and my dad had a go at it and were not weak lads and eventually it came off, but not before both are arms were feeling slightly worse for wear!

spray sum wd40 on it and leave it for an hour then try it again might help things go a little better!
