strut bar adjustment
i was trying to shorten my strut bar today, after installing plenum spacer. i didnt loosen the jam nuts when i took the strut bar off, now its stuck. Does anyone know of a way to loosen these?
Thanks
Thanks

The locking nut is the one in the center.
Try a couple of drops of penetrating fluid.
Is it misthreaded?
Are you turning it in the correct direction?

not to hijack this guys thread but i just installed my 5/16 spacer and it may be alla in my head but I feeel a slight vibration in the steering wheel when i get it above like 75. Was this there before and I'm just noticing it now because I'm paranoid? Or do i need to adjust the strut bar?

Just walked out to the car ---Right hand nut is LEFT HAND THREAD---Left Nut is RIGHT HAND THREAD------U TURN both, left, and right nut ---top towards the front of the car.
In fact if u look at Davidv's pic ---u will see that the right threads are left hand and the left threads are right hand ---On his pic ---turn BOTH towards the lower right hand corner of the pic
