Took me and my buddy 6 hours to adjust them!! First 3 went fine, last one was seized like a ****!! I bent the **** out of the spanner wrenches.. Fukked up the rings.. Let it soak in penetrating oil, nothing.. Took it off the car to get better leverage, nothing.. Had to take it to work and do what it says not to on them and take a torch it.. I sand blasted the threads at work before I put them back together..

 

Holy shiiiiit

 

lol yep, it gets this bad sometime...i have a set at the shop that will not come loose, have tried everything but a torch

 

Need to rinse them every time you wash the car, and wash the car fairly regularly to keep the dirt / debris and other **** out of the threads.

It's gotta be that much worse if you're in an area that salts in the winter. That sucks though lol.

 

Torch and a huge monkey wrench.. lol

 

Did you put any anti seize on the shock body?

If not you only asked for that battle lol I anti seize every install.

 

I didn't originally install them or else I would of but I took everything apart and sandblasted all the rust and put anti seize on the shock body for next time.. lol

 

the real question is are you going lower?
