installing steeda U.L and d-specs. cant get the stock struts off. wtf do you do with the stud and nut in the trunk?????
thanx a shit ton.

 

[antonio1988]

What do you mean you can't get the stock strut off? Where does it seem to be stuck? There is one particular bolt that I missed on my first time installing them, but I just went back and found the one I had missed. And as for the trunk and the stud and nut, that would be the shocks. Is that what you are referring to?

 

[abarker8541]

antonio can i call you and explain better? IM your # if its cool. thanx dude

 

[abarker8541]

yea the shock my bad.....tired

 

[antonio1988]

I just pm'ed you my cell

 

[pieperz06]

are you talking about in the trunk where you have to use 2 wrenches to keep it from spinning?

 

[abarker8541]

big thanx to antonio. you sir are the fuckin man.

 

[antonio1988]

lol glad I could help

 

[pieperz06]

what turned out to be the problem

 

[antonio1988]

he didn't know how to remove the shock's, all he needed to do was use a vice grip to hold the stud in place and then turn and remove the nut

 

[charlie123]

or a nice impact wrench LOL!!!

 

[rojizostang]

don't use an impact to install the d specs

 

[bigray327]

Yeah, you don't wanna be spinning that piston.

Yet another fine example where looking through our service manual sticky would have saved him time and grief. Guess it's easier to ask than to look for yourself.

BARKER - There is an entire thread of service manual info. nearly any part that can come off the car is covered.

Yep, we have both kinds here...

And the ones that are the most helpful are the ones that teach people to think for themselves. I'm not coming down on the OP, but this is not the forum to be asking questions that are covered 500 times elsewhere.

 

[Riptide]

I completely agree. In his defense it was late and he was tired and desperate for help @ the time.

 

[abarker8541]

im all about people thinking for themselves. i searched four different sites trying to figure that damned thing out. this is what forums are for. no one forced you to click on the title and read the message. next time i will as which cam to choose. lol.
