How do you remove the hatch/trunk shock?

[93 bird]

hey guys, im new to this forum and the dsk world. i just purchased a 93 talon 1.8. my rear hatch shocks/springs are shot and i need to replace them. i feel like a fool because i cant seem to figure out how to remove the end thats attached to the body. the end that's attached to the hatch itself simply screws of, but the other end wont budge. to add to the difficulty the plastic is in the way and its tough to get anything in there. how do i get that end off? thanks!
