Need Help ASAP Please
I'm trying to remove the coilover/strut assembly so I can remove the upper control arm on my '89 honda civic. So far I have all but 2 bolts out. I'm having trouble getting the pinch bolt out on the coilover/strut and can't get the bolt out on the bottom of the fork. I got the nut off but it's not sliding through and I tried to screw it out but it's not going any where...just spins with tension. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Ok take ur socket and put a pipe over the end of it, that gives you more leverage and increases the force on the bolt. Also lube it up with some anti-seize such as PB Blaster. I PB'ed my bolts and use the socket with pipe over it and it worked fine. Also if you have a 1/2 drive long handle that would work just as good to. I did PB and a pipe over the socket and had no problems with mine.
As a rule when I do things on bolts that were hard to get out, I soak them in WD40 before I put them back in because chances are I may be taking it off soon again.
