rear shock housing removal?

Hello,

I am not able to figure out how to remove the nut off the top of the shock to reuse my old housing. pleaase help

im going to buy new ones and say **** it.

They're cheap enough and I had one rattle for months until I finally figured out that was what was making the noise...

Need to counter-hold the shaft and use an offset box end wrench to remove the nut. Some shafts have a place to insert an allen wrench on the end, others have a tit with two flats that can be grabbed with vice grips. Worst case grab the shaft down below with vice grips if you are not going to re-use the shock anyway.

Or use an impact to remove it. That is what I did. Came right off.

The time before the last time I changed my rear shocks, I did not change the rear shocks mounts, and about a year later a knocking/clunking started in the rear and ended up eating the rear tires. I now have new orange dampers and new shock mounts and all is well and quiet.
