so I was installing my springs yesterday when i ran into a problem. After installing the front springs and pulling out the rear driver side strut, i encountered my problem. The bolt at the top of the strut won't budge! i put the allen key in and tried for hours to get it to move but it just won't come off. I have the compressor on the spring right now, i soaked it in wd-40 lube and nothing!
so what do i have to do? please help i need to drive my car!!!!

Are you just installing springs or replacing the shock and spring? I encountered the same problem last year. I had to torch the bolt off. If you have an impact gun set it on the highest PSI setting that the gun can handle, and go at it. It should come off. If not. Torch it off.

ye just the spring no shocks
I don't have an impact gun so how long should i torch the bolt for?
thanks for your help btw

torch the nut, not the bolt
