easy out maybe? can u try to cut a slit into it so you can use a regular phillips head screwdriver?

 

Impact Gun. Works for me every time.

 

umm.... any more suggestions.. dont really have an impact gun

 

Take the damn thing to a shop and tell them to take it out. Now the hard part: Do you have $5?

 

I done this before, then i busted out the impact tho... Works like a charm... I would most likely take it to a shop tho and tell them to take it out...

k...guess i'll take it to a shop.. anyone know any shops around south florida?

 

Phone Book?

 

Your going to need an impact gun now.

 

The 5 bux is to pay the shop but most of the time they will do it for free will take them 2 mins to have it off and everything

 

WOAH dude, slow down. you don't need to mess with that until you take the entire spring/ shock assembly out of the car. take those 2 14mm nuts off that are on either side of the part your fu*%ing with. then, when you get the entire assembly pulled from the car, put a spring compressor on the spring, crank it down as far as you can get it, then try to get that nut loose. if at that point, you still can't get it off, (if you are replacing the shocks, which you should be anyway) just put some vice-grips on the shaft for the shock to hold it still while you turn on that nut on top.

EXACTLY, you dont wanna take that off just yet, dont hurt yourself! If you did it like stated above it probably wouldnt have stripped.

 

i did remove the shock... and compressed it with a spring compressor and then try to take the nut off after loosening it... I just put the shock back on because i had to move the car. But w/e I already took it off. Thanks for the help though.

More or less, or vice grips.

Finally someone who knows what their talking about.

 

vice grips for sure....but make sure you cover the stem of the shock...You dont want any imprints on it...
