Default Coilover dilema...

When I got my 93 sedan it already had coilovers on it along with some other mods, I now want to go lower, I tried to break the 2 lock rings apart with no luck, So I went out and bought a set of spanner wrenches from some guy had from his ebay coilovers, I tried breaking the rings loose with them today and bent the cheap wrenches into a pretzel and nothing has budged, does anyone have any other suggestions? I tried pipe wrenches and couldnt get mine to fit in the tight space. Im out of ideas, My friend said he always uses big channel locks, But the cheap wrenches bent in half, I dont think I will get enough grip with channel locks

Big Channel locks, a Hammer + Chizel plus some PB blaster is how we got my friends silk road coilovers loose after 2+ years of being locked in one position.

Chisel and hammer? Mines loose enough that everything is spinning freely. The whole sleeve is moving around. But I cant break the 2 lock rings apart to adjust it down

Uninstall
Unscrew the perches
Throw them at the ground until they seperate (or find a nicer way)
