Suggestion
The OEM shock retaining clip pops off very easily under pressure so be careful if you are using a screwdriver (you don't want to hit your eye or have the clip end up somewhere in your engine).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm picking up a new shock after work today and couldnt figure out how to get the old one off. I imagine there is some sort of way to release it by the metal clips that go around the ball portion of the shock.
any advise would be apreciated.

(oh, and do post some pics of your car, since it's your first post.)
edit: duh, sorry misread your post.... ignore the link (unless you are replacing a suspension component)
Logray, I think your link is for the wheel strut. The OP is talking about the support for the rear deck lid, I believe.
Oh, and I agree; the original poster should post some pics!
The OEM shock retaining clip pops off very easily under pressure so be careful if you are using a screwdriver (you don't want to hit your eye or have the clip end up somewhere in your engine). The replacement shock click slides up and stays attached to the ball socket. Very easy once you do it once.

I've always said "someday I will own a 911" and now that I do, I feel like Peter in Office space after he wakes up from after being hypnotized.
I am finally truly happy
