Also be careful releasing the top nut. If you spin the shock shaft too much it could potentially damage the shock.

Also never use anything to hold the shaft. (vice grips, pliers, ext..) Any damage to to the shaft left by the tool will mess up the seals.

+1. I've never had an issue with the Z's shaft when removing the nut. Not to say you shouldn't be carefull due to it might of been over tightened. I always put the shock in a vice then zipped the nut off with impact.
