Working on my buddies 2000 rs impreza and the suspension is too way to stiff so WE are lowering the purch, but the the highest purch ring wont spin down the threads..Its just spinning the whole thing. Its kind of hard to explain without demonstrating. But if anyone knows what I mean please reply thanks.

 

let me find a picture of what I think you are trying to explain

 

Pretty sure you need a tool to spin that and it looks like this http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...:1&um=1&itbs=1 (bottom right corner)

 

I had this problem, the actual threaded sleeve is spinning right?

I just used a pipe wrench on the lowest part and used a huge set of pliers
