I'm rarely asked for my wisdom, but I bought an 1/2 inch electric impact wrench from Harbor Freight to deal with the lower rear shock bolts this Saturday. In addition, I have been dousing the bolts with PB Blaster the past few weekends to break the bolt free. The bolts are torqued to 140 ftlbs, the wrench delivers 230 ftlbs (hopefully in reverse). $49 and $14 for shallow impact sockets, less 25% with a coupon printed out from their website.
I'm doing rear shocks, struts, strut bearings, ball joints, tie rods and sway bar ends. I also bought a spare set of strut alignment bolts in case something snaps. Will be doing a cat back exhaust system first, then the rears shocks, and if all goes well, the front end.
Only thing I didn't get was the rear sway bar ends, but I may source those too as long as I am in there.
Good luck.
