I replaced the rear shocks on my '03 Aero a while back. I didn't need an impact wrench to remove, just a ~30" breaker bar. Had the car up on jack stands and don't recall this being a problem at all. I'm 185 lbs FWIW.
The most difficult part was getting that nut off the top. The first one was a disaster (I wrote up a lessons learned and posted it if you want to search), but the second came off very easily after cleaning the threads with a wire wheel on my cordless driver and spraying some liquid wrench in. An offset wrench of the correct size also helped.
