Default Rear damper removal

I'm tryiing to get the rear dampers off my 91 HB.

I removed the nuts in the hatch, and the bolt on the control
arm.

I can't seem to get the assembly out. Is there another bolt I have to remove for more clearance?

I try stepping on the drum but I can't get it down far enough.
It's kinda hard by myself...

Is that the right procedure?

Unbolt the LCA from the Trailing Arm and just pull the whole strut/spring assembly down (supposing it was also unbolted from the top part and the LCA).

Thanks. Thanks what I did

In my manual it just says to undo the top bolts and
the LCA bolt. Maybe I'm missing a section, It's a copy
in pdf...

ANyway, I'm finished and the drop looks great. I'm real
happy with it.

Thanks for the help
