Help removing lower shock nut...
I put in some KYB Shocks a few weeks ago and decided to change the springs this weekend... The problem is that on the passenger side the lower shock bolt (the one that attaches to the axle) just spins on the bolt, it does not move..
I tried to wedge it so that it might catch and turn, no luck. None of the liquid stuff helps either. Went and got a nut cracker, but it won't fit into the area where the nut is...
Any other ideas on how to get it out???
Thanks
Troy

I LOVE MY DREMEL...
Finally got it off today... Took a while and several heavy duty cut-off wheels (couldn't find any of the fiberglass ones). But I got it..
Turns out the Bolt threads were gone, the bolt was almost smooth.. Guess I got the nut on a little tight....
Now if I can just figure out why the car is still leaning........
