Seise threads for coilover height adjustment
i bought a set of Tein Basic coilovers used, and installed them. everything went great untill...
I was trying to adj the height and the two front coils, and the drivers side rear went up and down on the threads with no problem. when i got to the right rear i was doing the same as i had for all of the others with the Tein Adjustment wrench and nothing would budge. neither the lower locking ring or the upper ring wanted to tighten or loosen. i was putting all of my body weight on this wrench, and i didnt want to break anything
so i soaked them in PB Blalster and let them sit overnight. cam back today to try again. before starting I PB Blasted everything again. the ring would not move anywhere on the threads.
can anyone suggust a good plan of attack. at this point i dont know what to do. does anyone have any tips or tricks to get these right to budge. and has this happened to anyone before?? please let me know, the back is sitting about 1/2 inch higher that the front. I have an 06 LX SE btw

Re: Seise threads for coilover height adjustment
no real tricks... it seems obvious that the locking ring has seized itself onto the adjustment ring. can you call tein USA to see if they might have any suggestions?
are your spanners rounded off?
On thing you can try is to add a length of pipe to the spanner as you try and loosen the locking ring. this will give you much more leverage.
MAKE SURE you are trying to loosen it in the correct direction otherwise you are further complicating the situation.
