LHS is 6-7 on a scale of 10, 10 being engine removal.
Engine needs to be lifted/supported a tad to release the mount.
The LHS shock can be irritating...if you can see the nut on top it can often be slammed out with an impact wrench. You generally have to remove the cooling system expansion tank. If you can't hold the shock with your hand while the air wrench removes the top nut, you can alternatively use an air or electric abrasive cutoff wheel to slice through the shaft...use the weight of the suspension to compress the top shock doughnut. Slice it between the bottom doughnut and the shock mount. You can also use a cutting torch if you're careful.
