Trouble with Suspension install

[mitsuEVO8kid]

Okay the top 19mm bolt w/nut is being a TOTAL B**CH!! On both sides! I got the bottom one out but the top bolts are WAYYY tougher. I think i already broke my torque wrench trying to pull them off and the nut is starting to strip so i dont want to try anymore.

Question is anyone that knows an easy way to take it off, could you spare like 10 minutes if you're in the area to help me take them out? Or even show me on here because ive tried so much stuff and cant take them off. By the way those are the only bolts preventing me from finishing :'(

Break Bar? I hope - I am doing mine next week and that is what I planned

[mitsuEVO8kid]

Dont have a gun :[ Break bar?

[GreaseFRT]

Yea - it is like a huge ratchet handle - only it does not ratchet. Put a 19mm socket on that and you should have enough torque. what about some WD40 soaking on the bolts too.....

ugh spent so much money already on tools thats why I jsut wish someone could come with a gun/break bar and jsut take those damn bolts off. But ill probably end up having to go buy it :'(

[GreaseFRT]

The are like $8 at autozone.... if that helps - but I feel your pain.....

[[p]dOG.]

you might be able to borrow one at vato zone

[GreaseFRT]

That is true too.

[mitsuEVO8kid]

haha honestly ive gone to autozone 7 times throughout the day. I guess ill jsut stop by one more time and hope that i dont need something else

[mitsuEVO8kid]

by the way, they rent their stuff out? I didnt know that...

[GreaseFRT]

Yep - I got my spring compressors there - free rental for 90 days.

[mitsuEVO8kid]

[r0me0ne]

MR bilsteins :D

Oh and for future reference, DO NOT use a torque wrench to remove torqued down bolts/nuts. It can seriously throw off or even break the mechanisms. Use a breaker bar and remember to oil up the bolts/nuts before attempting.

next time.. have a big can of WD-40.... just spray as close to the bolt and where it connects.. and let it sit for a good smoke break and it will come right off.....
