ok so we get to the rear coils during the install tonight and one of the coils' collars will not move and im guessing its because of the surface rust on the shock.

we need to move the collars because the spring is loose and the collars need to be tightened. We tried everything but nothing seemed to work.

any ideas? new parts in need to order?

 

wd-40 soak? spray it and let it sit for 30 mins...just a thought

 

PB Blast!

 

brake cleaner,then pbblast or wd40 and let soak,then brake cleaner again and old tooth brush to clean off gunk.

 

then anti-seize or some grease on the threads so it doesnt happen again.

 

pbblast, rusty, wd40... any of those should help (any penetrating lubricant). Also using a wire brush to clean the threads should help as well.

 

suck on it for a while?

 

pb blast ftw

 

Make sure to scrub that som bish down with a wire brush.

Something like this



Then get it painted or re powder coated.
