Removing rear shocks made easy

[BMWCCA1]

I really don't get it... It seems like for all you guys... the rear strut is rusted into the axle... When I changed mine, I just slip it out with my hand.... no hammer, no swearing, nothing... just 1 second and it pops out. Both side of rear strut is simple 1 second.

I'm with you, Tiger. Just did my rear shock mounts with no difficulty. Glad I didn't read this first!
