Just thought I would put this word of caution out. while changing my reat hydraulic shocks, I had a hard time removing the hose. So, i heated the nuts going into the accumulator only to have the hose blow up in my face. I am lucky, I did not loose my eye or was not seriously burned. My burns were minor and looked worse than they are. but, be careful. Also any advise on getting the other off would be appreciated.
