If they're Sebac shocks, here's a video made by ArcticMiniBike. Very informative and helpful if you're rebuilding or refurbishing your shocks

Sorry yea sebac 14. When i started this i was fresh out of the emergency room. Yesterday cutting off the back tire the grinder jumped outta my hand and put 7 stitches in my leg.... Doc picking the disc/rubber chunks out with no happy sauce hurt a little. My stupid pc shows grey box says need plugin to play vid. Could someone do it as a link so i can click my way too it. Please & thank you
I've done another 5 or 6 sets since making that video and tapping that bottom threaded area is still my most successful technique for getting them loose. Be careful not to overdo it, since you're actually stretching the tube and increasing the diameter.
You'll start to see a little rusty dust come out of the joint as you tap the area with a hammer. That let's you know it's working and breaking up the rust inside. Just take your time. Sometimes I start adding a few drops of penetrating oil to the joint area as I tap, especially when I see that powdery rust exiting the joint. Just keep rolling it evenly on a hard flat surface, like the top of a vice jaw as you tap.
I've also noticed that it sometimes helps to work the joint back and forth, tightening and loosening to work that oil into it.
