Hey guys, so im installing some mew Stance coils i just bought, but while i was removig my Teins out of my front right, the strut is literally stuck. Its stuck on the transverse link(i think thats what its called?). I have tomhe three screws holding the strut in at the too unscrewed, as well as pretty everything else. Idk why its giving me a hard time. It should just get super loose and be easy to take out like the left side i did before this. Anyone know whats going on? Would really appreciate it. Heres some pictures to help

just take off the bolts holding the lower control arm in... then whack it with a dead blow hammer

Sounds like thats work. Gonna go buy a wrench that fits that cuz the ones im using rn is way too thick and wont fit between

just look at the suspension picture you posted for 1 minute.
Its all like a puzzle and common sense.
Its a Coilover, so you can adjust the height of the strut. maybe making it shorter will give u space to take it out?
If not then just take off the end link...then take off the bolt thats attached to the subframe. if u can take that off then u can lower the LCA and remove ur strut.


u getting beat by very basic troubleshooting dawg.

First unscrew your coil adjuster all the way down, then you should be good to go.. If not grab a long piece of wood wedge it in a spot to take pressure off the suspension and pull it out.

Your also fighting with your sway bar, just disconnecting the end link would also solve your issue.
