difficult working on jack stands to get a grip and apply enough power to push the bottom half up and out of the trailing arm.
Sometimes the lower bolt have squeezed the trailing arm together so that the shock mount is locked up and you actually have to overcome both the internal shock pressure and the metal grabbing the shock mount spacer.
Can you wiggle the lower part of shock at all?
If not you need to get under the trailing arm with a punch and sledgehammer, or a prybar to work it loose.
After that you still need to compress the shock to get it out of the trailing arm.
I'm telling you, sometimes it can be quite a work out even having when the car up in the air, when removing rear shocks.
