Hey guys, im trying to install my tein s-tech springs twice now and we cant get the damn BIG *** bolt off behind the springs....has anyone done this install themselves, and since every damn bolt on the infiniti's like to rust 2 days after they leave the factory, how am i supposed to get the things off?? I just cant budge these things...any help?? Thanks

 

Are you talking about the rear?

Are you using a breaker bar? You should feel how tight the WRX suspension are...
hehehe.. compared to that car, the G was pretty easy.

 

yes which bolt youtalking about. ??

WRX is on tight. 140 ft lbs i nearly snaped my breaker bar doing my buddies suspension.

Got air tools?

 

Used breaker bar and air tools and still could not get the thing off.......its the HUGE bolt on the bottom of the sub frame connected to one of the suspension arms....but the bolt is like the biggest bold on there and we just cant get the stupid thing loose!!!!!

 

how old is your car? Could be slightly rusted on there.

go buy stuff called PB BUSTER. spray it on and spray it some more. then try removing it.

 

Its an 04 with like 6k miles on it.....dosnt look rusted but i have that stuff and i sprayed it on there and still nothing......!!!!!! its probably the biggest pain in the *** ever lol!

 

front or rear?

 

front

 

You don't need to remove the lower control arm to get to the strut.

After you disconnect the front endlink, undo the cotter pin and nut you see at the
tip of the upper A arm, collapse the A-arm and knuckle, compress the spring
a little bit while it's on the car and just pull out the strut. It's pretty easy.

reverse when you're ready to mount the strut back onto the car. goodluck
