I like your idea of trying to jack the arms apart somehow.
It all depends on access. It was dark when I was looking tonight. I also considered undoing the two top nuts on the shock in the boot and letting the car "ping up"
At least that way i should avoid what can be a struggle pulling out the shock from underneath when the rubber cap seems to stick.
It would be best if i could somehow extend the spring first though. I suppose it depends on how seized the shock absorber is.
