Shocks on YJ Wranglers (87-95) are not difficult unless there is lots of rust. I suggest soaking the bolts for at least a week before starting with a good penetrating oil- I prefer PB Blaster. Then get it up on jack stands on a solid surface to be safe & get your wrenches & go to work. If the nuts/bolts are stuck, you may need to use heat to loosen. Acetylene works best, but it is best to know how to use a torch. I have also successfully used propane, but it takes longer to heat. Of course it goes without saying that caution needs to be used to not burn up the Jeep while doing this, or worse yet cause an explosion - the rear shocks are close to the gas tank after all and the driver rear have gas lines & fuel filter in that same area. I try first to use a piece of stout pipe or strong conduit that fits over my socket wrench handle for more leverage. Also use 6 point sockets not 12- they are MUCH less likely to strip a nut/bolt head. A nice manual also helps so go buy one like a Haynes.
