Recently, i purchased a set of Eibach Springs for my G35. I have no experience installing springs. The rear was easy. I finished it in half an hours. However, I am having trouble front the front. Those bolts were too tight. I tried with many different kind of oil, but didnt work. I lived in CA 91776.
who can help me to un-tight those bolts for me? thanks
it wont take long. please

 

Impact gun or breaker bar.

 

^as stated. The right tools make all the difference in the world in a quick/painless install. Invest in an impact gun. Harbor Freight sells an electric one for about 50 bucks that works halfway decent. I used that on my suspension, and it's since come in handy on other jobs. If you're too cheap to go that route, at least have a can on PB blaster and a breaker bar. A thick, hollow metal rod that can slip over the end of your breaker bar to provide extra leverage for those extra tricky bolts helps as well.

 

I do have impact gun and breaker bar.I am trying to lose the bolts on the A-arm. I cant use the impact gun for there has not much space between that bolt and the suspension.
I tried with the breaker bar with Pb blaster as well. However, it did not work.

You have a breaker bar, which makes a world of difference. Those a-arms are a pain in the a$$ though. Just get enough leverage and strength behind it to break it loose. If I can break it loose with a regular wrench, then your surely can do it with a breaker bar lol.

 

Why are you removing the A arms??

 

^You need to remove the A arms to be able to remove the front strut, thus changing the springs, which is what OP is doing lol

 

Okay OP, now I see what you're talking about. I think I just used a 3/8" ratchet and then used a metal pipe to slide over the ratchet to get extra leverage on the bolt.

In case you happen to have one, the Harbor Freight blue racing jack has a 2 piece handle which happens to serve this purpose beautifully.

 

FYI you do not need to remove the a-arms.

 

^Interesting...how do you manage to do that? I had to remove my A arms when I installed my Z suspension.

 

+1^^
the 2 circled in yellow need to be removed(breaker bar/PB blaster)..the 1 circled in red needs to be loosened and the whole control/a arm will drop down allowing u to remove the strut/spring

 

I also have changed front springs without removing a-arms. gotta persuade it in and out but it can be done.

 

Wow that'll save me a lot of time the next time I work on my suspension. The diy I read from told me to remove the A arms. Thanks for the info, save OP some time too lol.

 

NP..thats what the forum is for
