    Unscrew the big nut on top of the tube. 2 monkey wrenches work best, as they're pretty tight and probably rusted on.

        If you keep screwing for 5min and it's going no where, you need an impact gun.
        The shock itself will turn with the nut up top most of the time making it difficult.

            or you can use a strap wrench on the shock and unscrew the nut on top.
