It will be easy to replace at a decent hardware store. Maybe try a little anti-seize on the threads next time.

ground control sucks for customer service...if you cant get it out, take it to a metal smith he sure as hell can get it out

It's funny that you say that. I used to say the same thing... actually, I had put off calling them about my shocks since I had such a hard time the first time around.

Then, I finally did, and actually got them on the line. They gave me the direct # of the guy I needed. I called him 30 minutes later (he was at lunch) and he was very helpful. Maybe it's just a hit and miss thing??? Of course, I won't completely change my mind until I see how long they keep my shocks.
