Rusty shock removal update
Apparently all my concern was unwarrented. I heated the bolts on my rear
shocks with the propane torch and they came right out without a struggle.
The shocks were rusted through and the pass side was so shot that it clanked
down together as soon as I got the top bolts out. Rides much better now.
Thanks to all who replied before.
