Rear strut removal problems....
I am installing my drop springs, i cant get the rear lower bolt out on eaither side. what can i do to take them out without breaking them? fi they break what do i have to take off to get it changed/what bushing/bolt will i need? Is there a better way to take off the suspention so i do not have to worry about breaking it?

Okay I pulled off the lower arm and took off the upper shokc mounts. the shock came down but the alen bolt on the top was stripped. what do i do now? if i have to remove the shock from the arm then i have to get that bolt out, my impact gun stripped that so now i have to cut it out now? what bushing do i have to get? what should i do?
How do KYB GR-2 shocks ride, or is it worth money to get better shocks? Kyle

that suck...
I have had that happen on two different occasions. diff. cars both on the rear passanger side. what i did was grind the whole nut/thread. shock was ruined but i had replacements and only needed the top hat. you'll need a strut-type spring compressor to compress the spring so it wont shoot and take out an eye.

do you mean the bumpstop under the dust cover?
when you grind the nut off (and part of piston rod), you'll be able to take the top hat off along with all the washers/dust cover etc. the only thing that will be ruined is the shock (because it wont have threading) and of course the nut.
