Right, fitting lowering springs to the rex atm i must be mad, Fitted the front springs, just on the backs, got the strut off, just having trouble removing the top bolt on the top of the strut. tried mole grips holding the strut no luck. tried undoing when on car just span, any ideas? as atm having a fag and cup o coffee scratching my arse. :(:spank
you got a vice?
Yeah in a workshop, lots of tools. The shock spins not sure where a vice would work? Ideas :D?
If you\'ve got it off the car you could try gently heating the nut on gas hob on you oven (if you have a gas oven). That should loosen it.
cover it in wd40, put some wood in the vice, tighten it as tight as physically possible, then a bit more. The get an 18 inch breaker bar, job done :D
tried that didnt work, ended up pinching the end of the thread in the vice and doubling up some spanners did the trick. thx anyway
clearly wasn\'t tight enough :P
good that you got it done though
I always crack the nut when its all on the car with weight on it fully, some go 1st time and some do spin,luck of the draw really. Glad you got it done though.
