subieracer Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 man, so i went to install my front/rear sways and tein h-tech springs this last weekend and everything was going super smooth (gotta love air tools) until i got to removing the rear shocks. man, those bolts are on tight!! unless i'm missing something. i've removed this type of shock from my many 4x4's with zero hassle, but i couldnt get these off. are there any tricks or maybe something i'm missing? i couldnt really get the car high enough to get under it and use a breaker bar.. so i'm thinking get a lift... thanks... -ben.t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoopMan Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Use a floor jack underneath the end of the breaker bar. Don't forget to put a wrench on the other side to keep the bolt from rotating (duh). Worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
