ok, so my frineds trying to lower his 95 hatch in the rear (already done in the front) , problem we're encountering is that the self locking locking bolt (14mm) that attaches the shock to the control arm will not get the f*** off. Its only supposed to be tightened down to 40 ft/lbs but im having lots of trouble getting this bolt off. He's considered taking to a shop but they'll charge him an arm and a leg anywhere around here. Any suggestions are welcome, plz help quickly!!!!

Any gas station will loosen it with an impact wrench for less than $10.

put wd40 on it and let it sit. Are you using an allen wrench and a 14mm? Or an impact gun?

This bold you are talking about is one of the harder bolts to take off. On my 92 CX the nut actually broke off. We had to use a torch and cut it out. I would suggest taking it to a gas station and asking them to use their impact wrench. It'll guaranee solve the problem.

dont force it w/ too much torque, if you pop that head off hte nut youre in for alot more trouble. use an impact gun, and liquid wrench
