so i tried to drop my car today with my Eibach Pro Kit springs.. and i got as far as taking off my two front wheels...

seems as though gorillas assembled my car.. considering it took 7 hours to install a downpipe (after stripping the o2 sensor/stock downpipe) and about 4 hours to do my first oil change (because nobody could get the filter off)..

anyway.. long story short.. couldnt get the strut off.. think we were using a 35gallon air compressor with a kit of impact wrenches...

also broke 2 ratchets (at least one was a craftsman) trying to create a breaker bar with a pipe.. think the 35 gallon compressor was two weak? my friend told me it was teh bare minimum or the baby of the bunch...

hey so you got your springs on?

 

no.. i couldnt even take off the strut, those things might as well be cemented on there

 

Were they the lower bolts on your struts? If I remember correctly, my buddy and I had the same problem with the lower bolt on both of my front struts. Luckily he had a massive breaker bar. I swear the car shifted on the jack stands while I was trying to break it loose. I should be able to borrow his breaker bar if you weren't able to get it done. Let me know if you need help with it.

 

hmm.. i'm real nervous about using breaker bars... if you know what i mean.. not sure if i'll be able to try for another week.. i'll keep this post updated

it was actually the top bolt.. for the right front wheel

the left front wheel was both bolts that wouldnt budge...

 

Pete, if you need help losening the bolts bring your car over to my place some time.

 

Oh, I remember those... sucks to hear Pete... loosening the strut bolts... never had a work out like that in my life...

Yeah, definitely swing by Sykosis' place... he got all the goodies like leather pants, whips and chains...

 

What's so hard about the bolts?

Grip it and rip it my friend!

Come by my office at around 5:15 PM today and I'll hit it for you.

 

^^^Beefcake!!!!!!!!!! Sorry Im not there to help. Those bolts are my fat guy specialty. I have complete confidence in Blake. Good luck Peter and the sumo assembled car.

 

Sounds like you should invest in a bright yellow can of Liquid Wrench. Good luck with that.

 

yo whats up peter...my springs came in ......planing to install it this week....i'll give you a call so you can check it out.....
