Blaster rear shock removal

[Monstar]

For anyone who has removed one, i got the bottom bolt out but the top bolt will not budge. It doesn't unscrew i believe it just just suppose to pop out?

Mine was seized in as well. A torch, some wd40 (or pb blaster)& a bigger hammer (BFH!) should do the trick.

i smacked that thing so hard i hit my hand, but on a side note i got it out.

How much stored energy was in the shock when you release it? I've got the same issue with my rear shock and the top bolt but worried about the whole thing shooting out on me.

Do NOT heat a pressurized shock with a torch.
