Sorry for making a new topic, but I figured a new one would get more answers.



(not my picture)

I've looked through all the guides I could find, and none tell how to. We've used a breaker bar, and can twist the bolt both ways, but it won't come off at all! Seems ot be doing nothing.

Any quick advice? thanks!

 

Impact wrench

 

put some vice grips on the strut rod, and used an impact gun to get the nut off the strut, and ur good to go

 

Remove spring compressor and try to turn this bolt. It worked for me all 4 times i changes my suspension. Keep turning it until you have no threads sticking out. Be careful here dont go too far. You can use vice grips just wrap something around the strut rod so you wont damage it. Good luck.

 

impact.

 

Alright thanks everyone!
Well, we just finished up took it for a test drive.
I love it, car looks so much sicker dropped!
thanks everyone, we would have never been able to do it without your help.

 

haha i had this problem today. not that it was tight, but kept turning the upper mount (well the perch right below it) with the nut and strut rod. i vice gripped the plate to the top of the spring and got it off that way.

 

Yeah we made the mistake of compressing the springs first, and the bolt would not move.
