How do you take the stock shocks apart to clean them up and paint springs or what not? It looks like you just hold the shaft and unscrew the top, I just have no Idea how you would hold the shaft.

You have to pull the spring down a little from the top and put a wrench on it. You will see there is a place for a wrench. Then just stick a screwdriver through the bolt hole of the shock and twist. It is kind of a pain to pull the spring down with one hand and stick the correct sized wrench in with the other at the same time.
