Trying to remove the coil spring and the shock, use a spring de-compressor to squeeze the spring down, then loosen the top shock bolt/nut, remove plate twist spring and they will fall apart.

need a vive, spring compressor hand tools and time.

I had the same problem with part "C" Tein drifts, parts blaster / rubber mallet and time worked for me. 1st clean them very good, then I just braced it on my tire (on the ground) and wacked away when it got a little loose I worked it back and forth with a metal rod through the hole that mounts the shock to the lower knuckle while spraying even more PB, I should have just used a bench vise with soft jaws but hey once its free coat the threads assuming you did not cross them with anti-seize compound and youre good to go.
