Yesterday i decided to put on my coilovers....while ive messed with the front struts and springs several times in the past, i have not touched my rears since last summer. Anyway, with the lack of tools i have, i couldnt for the life of me take off that one damn bolt. I sprayed the s.o.b. down wid plenty (a half of a can) of WD 40.....still nothing....i got the right off but the left wont come off......finally it budged but the otherside of the strut where the bolt goes into (the hexagonal piece) now turns as i turn the bolt, but when i let go, it goes backto the normal position....what do i do? i know i need a breaker bar, but i dont know anyone who has one.......

Use a piece of pipe. That's what i did when i changed out my struts.. Just get a section of pipe, maybe twoo feet long and put it over the end of your ratchet or wrench
