VR6_Absy 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I drilled through the nuts to split them as mine were solid, this will wreck your existing shocks but if your binin em does it matter.Be careful that you don't damage anything else Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 you will still need that top nut... get an impact gun on it, even one of those 12v ones from halfords should do it Link to post Share on other sites

VR6_Absy 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Decent coilovers come with 2 nuts, I assumed all did. My Konis came with both nuts ;-) apply a little bit of common senseIf your unsure get some nuts and leave it till next weekedIn fact i can't believe any suppliers would supply equipment without the relevant fastenersA nut of that importance surely shouldn't be reusedLooking at the pics in one of your other posts it looks as tho you have all you nuts in the right places http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?218698 as if by magic Link to post Share on other sites
