talking about this clamp

that can be a pain... depends how many miles and wear are on ur stock suspension. Watched while they did mine, and took 2 people to get it done. One prying that clamp apart, while the other wiggled and pulled the shock out. Maybe some WD40 might help loosening it up a bit too
