Im putting on my new struts and coilovers right now and I just started. Im having trouble getting the bolt out of the bottom of the strut. It moved a little bit when I first put the air hammer on it but hasnt moved since. I really dont want it to break so I was wondering if anyone had some tips about removing the struts (especialy that bolt). Thanks.

get yourself some PB Blaster from your local store, spray that bitch, let it sit in for a few mins, then try the impact gun again, it should come right off.

aight if all that other stuff dont work then maybe your bushing is shot on the bolt. then u will have to buy a new strut and bolt. when i put on my coilovers the same thing happend to my rear driver side so i had a mechanic cut the bolt off.
