Welp I have changed a lot of shocks on 928s and have never had any real issues with swapping in new shocks or removing the old ones till today.
After removing the front nut and washer on the link pin, I couldnt turn the rear nut on the link pin. WTF?

So I got my jack and used my ratchet and jacked up on the handle to break it loose,. Ha ha hah
all it did was turn the bushing .

I was soaking the whole area including the inside of the hub carrier with PB blaster,
there is a hole on the bottom of the hub carrier to soak the pin .

At any rate the pin was pretty well stuck and I was thinking about all of those threads that told of cutting out the pin with a sawzall,
I didnt want to have to get med evil on that pin but thats what it was looking like.

After removing the rear nut and washer it occurred to me that the bushing collar could be used as a pressing collar.

So i sprayed more PB and then got a 22MM wrench then put the box end of the wrench on the outer collar and put the nut and washer back on,
I used the ratchet and deep socket and low and behold the pin budged, not much but it moved.
I pulled it all the way through the box wrench then used the front threads with washer and nut to pull it back.
after more soaking .

I kept adding wrenches till the pin decided it had enough and wanted to release the worn shocks.

This is written for all of those that have had to use a saw to remove the rear shocks.

Great work MrMerlin glad you did not have to get mid evil on it.

Just a different kind of Med Evil. I've only ever resorted to cutting one and only as a time saving measure. Great job as always Stan!

I applied this method many moons ago, don't remember if I did post it on RL but it's the only way to make this a simple way of doing this.

In addition I recommend that instead of using PB blaster use a 50:50 mixture of ATF fluid (yes your regular transmission fluid) and Acetone shake it, brush apply it or by wetting a rag and you'll never will use/buy PB blaster or WD40 again!

That's a great tip, kinda stares you in the face, but I'd not have thought of it. Thanks for showing it here
