Spring Install Help
I got the front spring installed fine. Here is my problem.
The left rear strut assembly where you have to use the allen wrench and a 14mm wrench to get that top bolt off ( so you can remove the spring), are both stripped. They were rusted over bigtime I think, WD40 wouldn't unrust them.
Anyone got an ideas for me? You can't really use those speical sockets for getting stripped nuts off because the bolt will just turn if an allen wrench is not used.
Thanks

If you can't figure out a way to get the nuts to turn , then (you probably dont want to hear this but) if they are stock shocks you might want to check out your closest junkyard for some rears shocks.
Impact them off. File down the corners on the 14mm nut if you need to get the impact socket on it.
Block the strut assy or get spring compressors, stand clear, and bust it off.
