To get the bottom nuts off, fit a spanner to the nut & turn the shock body with big mulitgrips.

Hacksaw worked for me :)

Re: shock nuts being tight

When I undid the bottom shocker nuts they were well and truly seized on. Spanner on the bottom, multi-grips, rubber strap around the shock all failed. The answer was to simply soak the nut in WD40 for a decent length of time. Then I undid while holding the shock by hand! I actually put the finger of a rubber glove over the nut with an elastic band and filled it with WD40 overnight. :D The next day it was hand tight.

X3, Regards Frank.

So im guessing that it didnt have the wobble before the wheels were off? You didnt bent a steering component while jacking the front up to change the shocks? That would put the wheel alignment out.
