I had just got it off this morning ... and then I dremmel cut the bolt on both ends so that I could get the shock off. SECRET AP1, this is not my S2k , it's a 94 tegra I was doing the install on and the bolts are no longer at spec torque.. I had the impact wrench on the bolt for a good 5 min before it snapped.. I had also let is soak in liquid wrench for 60 min prior to it breaking so a normal wrench would have been no use...

 

You really should specify more details in future like the type of car and anything else that may be pertinent. Advice you get on this forum to questions you ask is usually related to an S2K unless it is specifically stated otherwise. In this case, our advice was NOT catastrophic but it could have been if it were some other mechanical issue. You should not assume that mechanical information is always applicable from one type of car to another.
