Has any one had any issues whick highering or lowering using GCs

I was tryin to raise my car up last week and i couldnt turn the allen key.. the screw was really tight, should i use any breaker bar?

 

I actually had to cut my collars and buy new ones. Good luck getting them loose.

 

OH expletive

 

I WANTED TO RAISE THECAR FOR THE WINTER

 

that is what happens when you tighten the **** out of them.


Its an allen, it DOESN'T NEED to be that tight, just getting it snug will keep it from moving. Hell they wont move even if you don't tighten it at all

 

Also be sure to use anti-seize next time they will come right out.

 

what should i do? if i use a long pipe as a breaker bar with this brea the screw?

 

ull strip it .....

u might wanna take everything off and try and clean everything off then try and do it

 

oh really

 

maybe try spraying some PB Blaster or other penetrating oil on and around the area of the allen screw and collar.

I have not had this problem with mine, but then again, I live in southern california

 

Yea, never too tight. Think about it: allen bolts aren't made to be applied all that much pressure. Just look at them and you'll figure it out, it's not that hard.

 

Mine is stuck like that too except I was still able to move the collar. I broke my allen wrench trying to get it loose again. Good luck with that.
