Half way threw the job.
Bottom shocker bolts are out but I can't seen to get them to seperate >:(
Is it just a case of beating the cr*p out of them to get them to part or is there a simple way ?

Something like that ;D

They are a sort of press fit. So brute force needed. I usually put the bolt back in only as deep as the end of the shock spacer and use that as leverage by hand or tap firmly but GENTLY with a hammer to lever the bugger out. :)

Ok, thanks lads :y
I'll have a play and see what happens but tbh, I may drop them from the top :-\
My axle stands are crap and I don't want to spent too much time under there ;)

Is it an Estate?
Saloon ones tend to just drop out, Estate ones are slightly angled I think and can be a right pig!
I managed to separate the shock from its rubber bush ;D ;D

When we changed the springs on my estate we (mistakenly in hindsight) pulled the shocks off the rubber bushes because we couldn't separate them from the arms, then we had a pig of a job to get the shocks back over the rubber bushes
