I have a 71 trans am that has a 4 link suspension in the back with Competition coil over drag shocks. The car has been sitting since 2004 and noticed one of the rear shocks is bad.
I have never removed one of the shocks before and worried I may get the coil spring to the face. I cant find any videos either accept for people putting them on.

Can someone help me figure out how to remove these shocks so I can put new ones on? Do I put the rear on jack stands and pull the bolts out of the shocks starting at the top. of the shock, what about the spring pressure and getting another shock back in there? Attached is a picture of the setup.
