jah64 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I had to drill mine out, scrapping the stock struts, A 400-600 impact might work as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2005 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 shouldnt be to hard. take an impact and a 17mm socket it just blast it off there. Work hard. Play even harder. My Garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meier motor sports Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 you need to hold the stud part of the shock while unsrewing the nut so as not to spin the whole shaft and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VXCL Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i found that a simple air wratched comes in handy, but a box end wrench and hex key should do the job MAYHEM #122/22 STS NNJR SCCA AUTOX4U.COM XENON RETRO GUIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i found that a simple air wratched comes in handy, but a box end wrench and hex key should do the job Bingo. An air impact gun, or even an electric impact will do the job fastest and easiest. Otherwise a hex to hold the strut shaft from turning and a wrench to turn the nuts will work too.
