Never seen one, vice, stilson, and a big bar on the end always did the trick for me. If its never been off and wont budge just add heat.

yes,it means the shock can be removed with the strut still attached.Never done it on an s2 but on a c4 it is a doddle.

Good wire brushing, WD40 and a pair of big stillys.. should do the job

OK, will go the heat + stilsons + rage approach. There are so many jobs on an S2 where this combination is the answer!
