GTV6 bumper struts

["Obie Fayth" <bibendum59@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Does anyone know what is inside the shocks that connect the bumpers to 
the car?  I know there are a bunch of warning labels painted on them, but I 
don't know if they are serious or just there for decoration ;)
    I have an '84 gtv6 that was lightly rear ended at some point, 
permanently compressing the rear bumper mounting shocks. Now I am trying to 
remove the rear bumper, but unfortunately I can't unbolt the bumper from the 
passenger side shock due to some extremely rusty fasteners and I can't 
unbolt the shock from the rest of the vehicle for similar reasons (rusty 
fasteners and lack of access on the passenger side mount). I have been 
contemplating getting out the trusty sawzall and cutting the shock, but I 
don't know if it will explode, gush oil all over the place, shoot a small 
powerful spring through my garage door or just shower me in a sea of 
confetti made from finely chopped lira. Does anyone know what these are 
filled with?

thanks,
