Default rear shocks

Just looking for an opinion. I'm changing the rear shocks on my 96 zj. Now on the top nut is out better to soak it all night or heat it up real good? I don't want to break the stud off.

wouldn't hurt to brush off the crud with a steel brush then pre-soak it.

also, if you undo the axle end first then grab the shock and move it back and forth if you can before you try to break the bolt loose.
