"the shock remained compressed which gave me a chance to maneuver
the shock out..."

I don't quite understand why we need to keep the shock absorber compressed (by a jack) in order to maneuver the shock absorber out from LCA?

variation on a theme when fitting in the new shock: compress the shock and tie
it using jute twine. once it's positioned between top/bottom mounts, i cut the
twine, allowing it to rebound into place
