I ended up using a sawzal on mine.
I read tons of posts on how to get those rear shocks off. I tried everything that normally works: PBblaster soaking for days, torch, hammer, strap wrench, vise grips.
On one shock I had everything starting to work & then the top bolt rounded. That was the last straw!

I borrowed my friend's sawzall & bought a metal blade. They were off shortly after that.

Good luck!
