i have a set of ground control coilovers for my 94 civic but when i unscrew the one screw and took it out it the coilovers wouldnt turn.. anyone know why

 

Probably some gravel or sand stuck in the threads. Try using one of them rubber strap wrench things or a screw driver and a hammer.

 

yea, but first steel brush the tread all around, it can be a pain in the neck to adjust sometimes i know

 

il try tat thnx guyz

 

Make sure you jack up the corner you want to adjust to take the load off the pearch.

 

I don't know if anyone else had this problem but I could never turn the collar by hand, I always needed a spanner wrench to do this.

 

Just installed mine and they turn easily with 1 hand. Just have to take the load off the pearch (i.e. jack up the corner you're adjusting). In the rear I have to take off the tire since I can't see the screw. But in the front adjusting with the tire on is easy.

 

i still have my old skunk2 (junk 2) turning wrenches. those things are perfect for turning the locking nut on the GC thread, but im sure not many people have skunk2 keys laying around

That's why I have my perches turned so that the set screws are facing the back of the car. This way...I can jack the car up from the rear tow hook, slide under the back and loosen the screw and turn with my hand. Makes it soo much easier to count revolutions to match sides for height on the collar too.

WD-40 before you start turning them
