Well I found out my air hammer had an adjustment and I turned it up. It popped them out in no time.

Used safety wire to pull the bolts through. I now have two rear shocks again. Stoked.

Here's a pic of the wire method.

Dude, with all that much rust you could have just poked through the floorboard.... You gotta fix that rust before things start dropping off your trunk...

Its not as bad as it looks. Its all on the surface from when I cleaned it all to weld on it. (Failed overhead welding attempt with homemade bpe).

I plan on using POR-15 on the underbody before this winter so it will get dealt with then. Also have a passenger floor pan to do. If you want to see some real issues I can get you a pic of that. Lol
