note to self: do not let friends work on rear shocks with air tools.

yeah, air tools can be bad
CreativeDesignZ's method sounds good.
I wouldn't worry too much about strength, unless you're catching air a lot, otherwise the weight of the car divided by the give of the shock is just pressing up into the wheel well, really no torsional loads either, I would trust 8mm threads if possible to salvage on the stud or the plate should be more than strong enough.

Here is how to fix it correctly. Use angle grinder and cut stud off as close to the body as possible, then grind it smooth. Drill out remaining stud to correct new O.D. as explained later. Buy a stud from McMaster Carr with the tread and pitch you want, with appopriate lenth, make sure the shoulder is knurled. Use drill but according to shoulder dia before knurles. Thru the shock hole feed it in, then do the same trick with a stack of washers the correct size and pull the stud thru. Reinstall shock, and laugh at how they wanted to charge you $2500 to cut the quarter of for a $10 fix.

there isnt, i actually had to cut a small hole in mine just so i can reach my adjusters for my coil overs. i dont see how green gob's fix would work, i dont really understand some of the stuff hes trying to explain, but theres no way to get to the top of the shock mount unless you cut holes in your trunk
