the coilover body is bigger than the std shock. they can sometimes catch the inner arch strut tunnel area, it only needs a slight persuading to clear.

also a trick i used on a customers car once was to hold a bit of plywood where your hitting it with the hammer....that way it doesnt leave nasty gashes where the hammer heads hit the underseal/paint exposing bare metal.
Failing that make sure you paint or underseal it afterwards.
If your unsure on what needs hitting then I can take a pic for you...I have the rear chassis of a sierra propped up at the back of the garage, if you need a pic pm me and i'll send you one.
Cheers
