How do you take out the factory shocks?

I'm swapping my factory suspension for an OME kit.
I've taken out all the bolts but I still can't get the rear shocks off. The top of the shock won't come down out of the bushings. There's no nut, just the bushings and washer on the shocks. Am I doing something wrong?

BTW, this is on a 2003 4Runner.

No XREAS.

I took the top nut off and disconnected the bottom of the shock from the mount.
The bushings and washers are stuck and I can't pull the shocks out.
I covered the bushing area with penetrating oil. Hopefully they'll come out today.
