Anybody bored in Denver?

I am in the process of replacing my OME Comfort Ride shocks with some Bilstein 5125s in the rear. I have everything off and disconnected but can't get the rear shocks off and I am about ready to break them off.... but seriously I can't do that. I was planned on reselling them considering they have only been run for a few thousand miles. Anybody not doing anything and want to come over to give me a hand? PM for my phone # and address.

I actually used a pipe-wrench to grab the upper shock body so that I could turn the upper nut. Granted mine had been on for about 100k miles so the upper bolt was pretty frozen on there.

Wow. Reminder, always do that with a friend. I was able to get the OME shocks off by going at them by the top bushings. One you get that loosened just slightly then you can just hold the top nut with a deep socket and basically twist. Got the 5125s on and going for a ride. Thanks for the reply. I'd say, it is much easier to just break off old ones.

Thanks for all the replies.
