HELP!! How to replace hatch lift shocks

I've yet to replace mine, but looking at the workshop manual diagram and my car, I see really only 2 possible ways to go about it.
The body side of the struts are unbolted, obviously. Now the tricky part:
It either pops off the hatch-mount ball joint with a good smack of the wrist, or after unbolting the body side, twisting the shock counter-clockwise to loosen the threaded ball joint.

The body side IS my problem. It doesn't bolt off. My replacement shocks only have a hole where the cap goes but the originals have no way of removing the cap. I can unbolt the assembly but the shock won't come off the assembly.
