Cant Raise My Car - Cusco Adjustables

[Blizzerd]

I have some cusco coilovers on my stagea and i need to go over the pits,

i borrowed some 260rs suspension for my rs4s,

Now the bolts are too tight for me to undo with a ratchet, and i have no access to a rattle gun or a hoist so i have to use the yellow pages to boost my car up to raise the car.

I have adjusted one side of the car and counted the amount of thread that i used and it looks good on the back left, when i go to do the back right i have almost doubled the ammount of thread and its still sitting lower then the other side.

Any idea's

or anyone in perth got a hoist and a rattle gun i can use,

Ill throw in a carton for you

Which bolts are we talking about here?

[Blizzerd]

ones at the bottom

[WA_R32]

Hey mate, are you talking about the adjusting rings under the springs on the coilovers?

[kidafa]

I think hes talking about the lower bolt that actually holds the strut to the bottom of the car? If so correct size socket and a good breaker bar and if that doesnt work.... you need a bigger breaker bar.

yeah, well im pretty dam scared of shearing the bolt which will be totally helpfull, think i might go get a aircompressor and a rattle gun..

[scotty nm35]

Wd40 and big breaker, or if that fails try a little heat to crack it.

[bLaQ.bOi]

bunt chisel and a hammer!

works all the time

using a rattle gun will only strip it faster. like others have said, big breaker and a rubber mallet and it'll come loose.

i installed some coilovers today and had trouble with that same bastard bolt too, just threw one end of the trolley jack handle over it for extra leverage and it looked like i was superman!

[Blizzerd]

well managed to undo the bolt with a massive amount of force,

my girlfriend helped me, who knew girls were so good at fetching tools for you hey

So stock suspension is in the rear, will do the fronts tonight, replace the blown parking blub in the morning and then go to the pits.

DEFINENTLY taking it to a suspension place to get my coilovers put back in

[Blizzerd]

oh my god, how hard is it to put god dam stock suspension into a effin car........ bullshit!

someone is getting a call in the morning and stacy is being booked in

[chef_stagea]

y would you get some1 to do it for u... coils are easyer to put in coz there smaller...

[Blizzerd]

your right, they are easy, but its not easy to put stock suspension in

[ssshonky]

As others have said - go to Repco and get a 600mm Breaker bar for like $60 or so

think of how much greif this has cost you , easily worth $60 to do it right the 1st time

I have a rattle gun and compressor but me and my breaker bar can get nuts off that the Rattle gun just does SFA to .

( it IS a cheap rattle gun in all fairness but I prefer the control of a breaker bar )

To remove stubborn nuts: soak in CRC, WD40 or other penetrating oil overnight. Then with a hammer whack the flats of the nut as hard as possible without rounding or damaging them. Then use a power bar with a short length of pipe if necesary!
