Need help with getting perches off of the rear shocks
Do I have to hit them with a large object?
I took the spring off now I need to get the perch off of the shock onto the new one...? How?

OK Mike - you have to be a little more specific here...
A perch is a rough fish here in MN. (Some think right tasty!)(Idiots!)
My rears were easy - 1 hr per side.
Simply watch the alignment on things - - and it's done! (The top be pointing this - a - way - the bottom that a way. No slop. got it?)

Alright...

See on this picture where the bottom of the spring sits? Well our rear suspension is set up a similar way. I neet to move that thing (the bottom perch) onto my new shock. That way the spring can be sandwiched between that and the top part.

OK - I am going from a (faulty) memory here from a year ago
And - I remember you did this 6 mo ago (when you carved the upper nut off - and re - theaded the top of the shock shaft with an SAE die...))
But your pictures look like my 80 front struts - NOT an S car rear!
To get 'em (the lower spring - er - perch) off of the old - whack 'em with a hammer (up!)
I am not really understanding your problem!
(And the Miller's have come for a visit, too!)
