yeah those things stick.... make sure you compress the springs well otherwise that thing will fly.Comment

You need to use an open ended wrench and another wrench to hold the actual bolt to keep it from spinning. IMO, if youve got new struts cut it cuz it is a complete pain in the *** and if I had to choose one thing that was the hardest about changing my springs/shocks & struts, it would be getting that nut off.1997 Camaro<br />17x9 Chrome SS wheels, SLP CAI, Magnaflow Catback,<br />High Flow Cat, Blacked out Lights, 20% tint, AUDIO: 1600W Kenwood eXcelon Amp, 12\" Kicker L7, 1 Farad Cap (Recently STOLEN),<br />H&R Springs and KYB AGX\'s,<br />Billet GrilleComment

I drilled it out... you don't have to... it is a self locking nut... you must hold the shaft with pliers while you use a wrench to turn the nutComment

There is a special socket to hold the shaft. Then you use a a 14mm or 15mm ( I can't remember which) open end wrench. Hold the nut and spin the rod.
If it is rusted like mine was. Cut the shaft. Just make sure you have spring compressors on.Comment

if u use an impact, it will pop right off...unless rusted badly. in which case, spray w/ some pb blaster, let it set, then impact it off.1998 Chevrolet Camaro L36 M5<br />1982 Toyota Celica Supra 7MGTE project car - FOR SALE<br /><br />\"I find the most sensual part of the woman is the boobies.\" - Zap BranniganComment
