^^^ your behind again. hes got the top off and the bottom nut on the differential is rusted tight. yep soak it and try after hitting the punching bag for a while and getting a snack and drink. 
or,,, the shock should have come with a new mounting bolt and nut so yah make sure then cut the sucker off.

I soaked it in PB last night when i initially tried to get it off. But like i said, when i fonally got the nut to start twisting, the back part started twisting. I just need to find a way to grab onto the back part so the nut will twist off.

You might have to try vise grips on the back and a little heat on the nut to break it loose. Or you can get a hammer and chisle to cut the nut off.

Congrats! I hope you didn't have to become a "hammer mechanic"! Tell me you never whacked that nut! LOL.
