#12686, "damn 95 struts"


          

Well, I went to install my eibach pro kit this weekend, and ran into one big annoying problem. I got the fronts installed and the rear drivers side installed. I pulled out the passanger side rear strut and could not get metal conical piece with the shaft that slides over the threads on the strut off. They were fused to the strut bacically, leaving me no way to get the stock spring off. I tried absolutely everything to get it off including heating it up red hot with a torch and putting a 2 jaw crank gear puller on it and reaming it down. It's like that piece is welded on there... I haven't worked with shocks/struts before, so if there is a trick to getting that thing out, please fill me in. I ordered a set of KYB AGX shocks for the rear and 2 upper mount kits. I assume that the upper mount comes with the pieces that I mentioned above... If someone could re-assure me on this, I would feel a lot better.
