There are four attaching points on the shock. The shock is coupled to
the rear axel via a shock link that has a 9/16 inch nut attaching it to
the shock arm, and a 11/16 inch on the lower end of the shock link just
above the leaf spring. The shock itself is attached with two 3/8 inch
bolts with nuts each 9/16 inch. Try removing all of the 9/16 fasteners
and see if the shock arm will come off of the shock link. This is a
tapered fit, and may require some added work to separate. Possibly by
wiggling the shock. If that does not work, remove the 11/16 lower shock
link connection, rotate the shock/link below the frame and slide it out
toward the center of the car.
Good Luck
