Default coil over stuck

its getting warmer here, and i wanted to lower my car back down, but when i get under the car, the perch is stuck, so now i have the strut and spring off and the damn thing still wont move, does anyone have any suggestions? i already tried oiling it up, but no luck there.

Default Re: coil over stuck (typertn)

did you try some PB-blaster? that stuff will get just about anything loose, spray it liberally and let it sit for about 3 hours, then when you come back use some sort of cheaters bar to get some leverage on it such as a metal pipe to go on the end of your adjustment tool.

edit: definately make sure its in a very well ventalated area, cause my friend sprayed that to get the up-pipe and down-pipe bolts loose on his WRX and he did it in his garage. lets just say you didn't wanna go into the garage without getting a headache till about a day afterwards. and it STINKS when it burns!
