I have run into a problem i have the front spring and strut off. I'm trying to get the spring out but the bolt up top that loosens everything turns along with the thread to so it won't loosen it just turns and keeps turning along with the thread. What should i do? I tried wd 40 that did not work

 

impact gun. its that simple. make sure you have the springs compressed

 

+1. That's what I used to install my tein s-techs and worked fine.

 

Let's spell that out: to properly and safely remove that nut, he needs a specific tool: a coil spring compressor. Once mounted and tesionsed on both sides of the spring, it'll remove the tension on the spring and allow marques1 to easily remove that nut. Reassemble in reverse order. Having access to a FSM would also help things immensely!

 

+1 also wouldn't hurt to have a friend helping out

 

Use a close end wrench to turn the nut while securing the rod of the strut with channel locks or adjustable wrench.

 

thanks guys i got a shop to do it. Now i have ran into another problem. I'm trying to put the strut back on the car and the holes dont seem to align right. is that because when putting the top back on the strut he moved it to far to the right or left? I thought the top would only go on one way.

 

You have to make sure the hat goes on in the right orientation. Loosen the bolt and turn the hat, then retighten.

 

^+1. You right the top will only go on one way. You just have to align it up. Don't worry, next time will be a lot faster. By the way, what type of springs did you go with?
