I lost my truck to a deer so I can't go and look at it, but I recall it was particularly hard to get at the shock sleeve and grip it no matter what and certainly no way to get a grinder or sawzall in there to cut it since it is inside coils. You are right that removing the wheel makes it a little easier, especially in the absence of ramps, but I think the problem remains fundamentally unchanged.
Easiest way is to jack the vehicle up, take the tire off, and go through the wheel well.

You Are patient in my case the grinder with a small cut off wheel does the trick the øld shock is finished anyway .. !
