I've read on various web sites that for these shocks for the 94-97 Accord, you need to reuse the stock brake brackets. I've looked at my stock shocks, and the brackets look like they are welded on to the shock body. How are you supposed to get the brake brackets off if they are welded on to the shock body?

 

You don't need to reuse them. The 5g Prelude came with the brake brackets welded on the new shocks even though they mount to the control arm.
