Just finishing up checking and servicing my 99 Prowler bearing and brakes and while I was there I was looking at the sad looking shock housings (probably OE) with a couple with creases on them from road debris or driver error I decided to remove the worst to get a closer look. Well after spraying some miracle juice on the threads and getting more aggressive tools from the shop I got the first one off. Which brings me to this posting and a little Rally trick I want to pass on. Those of you who have a lower threaded post and in most cases seemingly longer than needed take a piece of fuel or vacuum line and thread/slip it over the threads. Used or new it doesn't matter just thread it on up to the shock nut. Just remember that 1/4 mile gravel road that you said " I was only going 10 mph" is like sand blasting with quarter minus and larger rock
Either you our the next owner of your TT will be thankful

Sawsall works well also. I did end up cutting a 1/2 off one but they have a lot of extra threads. I ended up putting it back on (chased the threads and a little fusing) because my new one's won't be here until Friday and I plan on being gone.
