Whack it! I used a rubber mallet and sprayed the shock with Fluid Film. Then make sure the eyelet is level and supported, not the shock and whack it. Took more than one try and some choice words, but finally got mine.

The description sounds right on this though. I see where somone may have gotten confused. It is the large washer that holds the bottom of the shock on the rear axle. So you say what I need is part # 90948-03011

I had to cut all of mine out too. The dremel is awesome.

The washer I was told that I needed and that toyotapartszone.com sent was #94622-31200. When I called the dingleberry I spoke with started babbling about their return policy. Well, since he did not know the correct part # I was scared to order another. For the bolt and wrong washer was...

I like mine. They look good, fairly low profile, not too heavy, are just the right size for a 3rd generation and most importantly they cost less than most others. I just wish there was a better/lower way to mount them.

Okay, over the summer I cut out my old worn out suspension and replaced with an OME kit. The other day I heard a strange grinding sound coming from the rear end. Come to find out my shock had gotten into the rim. In my hurry to get my beast back on the road I guess I forgot to torque the...

I was in the exact same spot as you, but I had to sawzall mine out to start. I used a 4X4 block on the UCA to assist with prying down. That helps. Good luck I feel your pain I did mine by myself. PITA!!

I have the rack itself if you can ever find the parts that mount to the roof. I used my mounts for my safari rack, but took off the old factory cross members.

I have front and back coils that were taken of of my 2001 SR5. I had to cut the shocks out so I have springs only.

Triplets maybe. Mine is a 2001 I have the Rola Rack in the basement and having been looking for a better way to attach it. Great writeup!
