So here's how it went down:

It lasted about 6 hours, it took chisels, presses, cutting tools, torches, plasma cutters, hydrochloric acid, and finally TNT.

Then I woke up and realized it was just a bad dream.

I decided to take the shock to a friend who owns a performance shop, and using a pneumatic hammer, he removed it in less than 3 seconds.

Bada-Boom Bada-Bing, Bada-Bing Bada-BANG!

For those non-Kali folks, here is what it looks like, not pretty. The aluminum corrodes and decomposes into powder where the two metals meet. I used a chisel and hammer to remove the 1/16" of compacted powder on the shock.

Cheers!

Sorry about the bad pictures, all I had was a camera phone at the time.
