#9599, "HELP spring install as we speak!!!!"




          

ok week 3 of trying to do my prokit and KYB AGX struts..the last two weeks I tried the drivers front and was stripping the nut on the sway bar link..I got some sound advise and tried it on the passenger side right now..well I got the sway bar link bolt off after lots of WD-40then moved onto the lower mounting bolt ok that came off fine..again lots of WD40 and now Im stuck! The damper fork mounting bolt (75ft lbs) that fucker is not moving...there isnt even a nut holding it on the other side just a long bolt..why cant I get it?..any good ideas on getting this bolt off?

TIA

A nice big breaker bar for leverage, and lots of elbow grease. If you know someone with air tools that would probably bust it loose.

ok, im a real newb when it comes to susp./brakes/ anything behind the wheel. But me and my friends did my springs. And if you are talking about the bolt i think you are then what we did was loosen the bolt and then we took a hammer and a small scredrivers and hit the opposite end of the bolt till it popped out. Hope this helps.
