I attempted to tighten down the spring to put pressure on the pillow top thing and remove it, but it didn't work.
Another thought I have is to lower the adjustment rings to the bottom, slide the spring down, and grasp the shaft of the shock with a vice grip at the very top where it would not travel (probably).
However, I thought I'd just post this here and ask anyone to give me some quick advice on what to do. My mechanic has time to get this done and I don't want to miss my window of opportunity!

NOOOOO! Don't do that! it might be a good idea to let the mechanic do this since he'd be on the hook if he screwed up. here's the PROPER way to do this: look inside the shaft (in the center of the nut where the adjustment knob goes); you will notice that you can fit an allen key into the shaft. use a 19mm box wrench on the nut and an allen socket to hold the shaft. this will do the trick.
