Ok so i got my sportlines in and im ready to install my only delima is the nut on the front struts. you have to be able to hold the strut shaft with a 45 torques bit and break the nut loose at the same time i think i can do it with a 13/16 sparkplug socket since that fits the nuts and has the head where a box end wrench can go on it. then i put a thandle torques through the socket to hold the shaft. wish i could find a nice offset socket set that uses liek a ratching wrech or special ratchet but i havent been able to yet. what did everyone else do?

 

Loosen the nut while the car is sitting on the ground.
Impact works great, no need to hold the strut stud,
then raise the car and remove nut.

 

tried this kinda was useing a breaking stick since im lackin the air tools im scared i might of broke a tab or something that keeps the shaft from spinning in the top plate

 

if u can find somebody with an impact wrench, it will make it really easy.
just installed springs on my car two days ago and one quick blip with the impact while holding the mount got it off. u compressed the spring already right?

 

When i had my struts in the spring compressor, i hit it with a 1/2 in impact gun. Came off fairly easy, got stuck twice cause the whole thing was spinning, so i just released some pressure on the spring whick put more tension on the bolt and it came right off. Repeat x2.

 

yea i had it clamped i might just have to break down and get me a impact i got acces to a compressor
