yes, thanks, I found your excellent writeup with the search feature + have kept those tips in mind... I didn't have any trouble removing the top nuts on the c900 shocks... same method as your #1, except they were way more corroded (17 years old at that point)... so I'm not fretting about that one (yet)... worst case I saw it off...
did you find the shock bushing was tight on the lower mounting point even after the bolt came out? I'm sure if I can wiggle that loose the whole thing will drop down... but not sure how much force is ok... so I've been trying to release the top to make it easier to work off the bushing... the top of the shock assy has to come down a fair bit to clear the bolts...
