but its stock suspension with the metal shield that blocks the rod?? should i just cut the spring to cut the shield off??

 

id cut the nut off, somehow. anyway you can. a nut breaker might work too.

but make sure you have the spring compressor on while youre doing this.

i would cut the nut but im tryin to use the stock shock and i dont want to ruin it... lol i didnt use a spring compressor, wasnt that bad.... hehehehee

 

i mean cut the nut. not to cut through the shock rod.

 

hit it with an airgun it'll come off.

 

thats actually a good trick. problem would be that you could damage the shock by spinning the rod fast.

 

yea have someone with a impact gun hit it and youll be right off, im glad i got the air tools
