No overhual kit.

These DSSVs are a strut insert type of shock. All the valving is within the insert, the insert moves within the strut body when the suspension is moving. The valving is attached to the shaft which is stationary.

You could dismantle it and remove the insert. But, looking at the pic I posted above I believe that cut apart piece is of the strut insert alone. Not the entire strut assembly. The nut in question looks to be part of the strut insert and to get to it may require getting into the gas charged part of the insert.

I had the Gen5 DSSVs on my '14 SS 1LE and I opened up one of my front struts to see the bumpstop. I removed the entire strut insert, but on those DSSVs the strut body was of a different design. It did not have integrated camber plates like the Gen6 DSSVs.
