I know I should have used a spanner wrench but I used an air hammer and cracked the jamb nut. But how do you pull the shock out of the spindle ?

If it is the original Boge/Sachs strut, there is an O ring keeping everything in the tube. Pull the o ring out with a small pic and the insert will slide up.
