ScallopDiver 4 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 hi calico we tried the impact gun while the weight of the car was on the shock and it was just turning the piston. im actualy toying with idea of welding a bar onto the piston to hold it in place, but i kinda dont want to knacker the old shocks as they are bilstien and will look into maybe getting them repaired if you can repair them Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Dowse it in your favourite water displacement, and keep soaking it every 15 minutes, and try some heat on the nut.Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
