Hi, my name's Jordan, I'm having alot of trouble removing my front shock absorbers on my 1989 Isuzu Trooper, I can't get the top nut off or get she strut to come out of where it sits. Am I missing any special tools or needing to loosen somthing else or what?

You need to remove the nut by holding onto the tip of the shaft or the body/housing of the shock absorber. Once that is removed push absorber downwards and you can twist it off it seat at bottom.
