Had some issues with the spring compressors. Solved them and punched a hole through the body for clearance.

How did we get here? Now this is an excellent tip for removing a stock shock WITHOUT having to compress the spring. SO MUCH WIN <3 First corner with spring compressors took like 4 hours. This one took 20 minutes.

I also had an issue with the endlink binding. So I took it off. Unfortunately, I stripped the endlink ball joint threads and couldn't get the nut off. Solution
There we go.
