I whaled on that shock for about 4 hours today with a pry-bar, and could not get it in. It would keep sliding up the pry bar. I had to put everything back together and do some more studying. I really don't want to have to remove the lower control arm/assembly, but I don't see any other way to get any more clearance. The axel just won't let the lca drop enough.

Did you have any issues getting the shock back in place? Did I wimp out too early? I plan to give in another whirl next weekend when I have more time.

Even w/ macpherson spring compressors I could not get the shock to shrink enough.
