    Just frozen from grime and rust. The metal sleeve with the remnants of the rubber should pop off. I'm guessing your saving the shocks.... Little lube and heat back and forth should bring it free. Be prepared for the rubber fire.

    There's no way that shock is in good condition. Throw it out.
