Yeah right. If the %#*@ top shaft of the shock didn't keep on spinning.
If your in Canada or anywhere they use salt on the roads this will happen (spinning shaft syndrome) a cutting torch is your best friend, or a decent nut splitter). If you don't have either of these then using a wrench to hold the 14mm but and I believe a 8mm socket you can spin the shaft “clockwise”. If all else fails use a 14mm deep socket with a long extension and with a side to side motion break the threaded portion of the shaft off the shock. I have used all of these methods many times over as I live in Canada, one of the saltiest nations in the world. I hope this helps someone.
It's a ##&&% when the shock shaft keeps on spinning. 5 hrs today. Still not done.
I had to use an angle grinder to cut into the top of the shaft. Eventually it heated up and I was able to remove it. Also try to cut a slit to fit a flat head while you remove the nut. FYI, I did this on a messed up left hand, if can do it, it is possible.
