Where did you find them and how much did they cost? I only saw them for sale once and it was some outrageous price. Anyway not to jack your thread...

use a small flat head screwdriver, pry the metal clip away and they should come right off

yeah, sorry. i just checked mine and i guess nissan does'nt use the clip style. you should be able to clamp vise grips just below the socket that the ball is in, then twist the shock hard and it should come out. maybe spray inside the socket first with wd-40 or something first.
