Hi you guys, i am trying to DIY on the lowering springs and i can't seem to get the lower end-link bolt to loosen. I tried with a longer breaker bar and nothing. It is so tight that i am concern i might break something if i continue to apply pressure. Suggestion? I also sprayed some W-40, but no luck.

Is it just my G or have you guys gotten the same issue?

 

Try "penetrating oil" not WD40... let sit for 15-20 minutes and try with a breaker bar. If it's still seized, repeat steps. Lock Tight's a *****!

 

Definitely use something like Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster (i use the latter), let it sit for a few minutes. If it's really tight, like mine was, i sprayed every couple of hours and let it sit overnight.

Also, be sure you have something holding on to the other end of the link -- there's a nut there that will just keep turning if it's not held down.

 

Thanks guys

 

heat it up with a blow torch, just keep clear of the brake lines brake fluid very flamable. i have done this on caliper bracket bolts on my old acura

 

I think this is the one I had trouble with! PITA!!!!!!! I even bought a impact gun but no luck, I did it by hand!

 

Haha I just bought air impact gun today to prep this weekend install!! Hopefully the oil and gun will help. What u mean done by hand?

 

I returned the gun because I didn't like it. By hand I mean no power tools!!
