I had difficulty in the same steps you are. Put an allen wrench into the top of the shock and use the ground to brace the allen wrench as you turn with the wrench. That's how I did it.For the 19mm nut, you just need to get the wrench on there good and turn it. Actually, this one wasn't too hard for me. If you can, get a cheater bar onto the end of the wrench to give some extra torque.BTW...Why are you using "torque wrenches" to remove nuts???Be patient and you'll get there. Good luck!
