Well my le5 shocks and struts came in today. First I did the rear shocks very simple.... Then I go to do the front passenger side. I remove the strut and try to remove the top nut and it won't budge for god sakes. So I spray it with wd40 and let it sit for a couple of minutes. So try to remove it while holding the top part so it doesn't twist. It starts turning but I notice the shock part is turning as well.... So my question is.... How the **** do i remove that stupid nut?

 

Impact Gun.

 

went and did some back road cruising/agressive driving today with the car club. Man those fe5 rear shocks made a hell of a difference. Wish I had the front struts installed

 

in all honesty, save yourself the headache. take out both struts, take them to a shop with a spring compressor and let them change the springs to the new struts for like $30

 

rofl.... now why didn't I think about that..... I'll take them apart tomorrow and go afterwork on monday. I don't think many shops are open on sunday around here.

 

Well finally came around to removing the struts and taking them to a shop. The ride is freaking awesome!!! It feels a whole lot better, couldn't really try any good turns cuz of traffic so that I'll have to wait for later on tonight.
