yo HOw Bout ya hit taht bitchez wid a breakerz bar....

On a serious note, get yourself a torque wrench so you can do them up again to the correct torque if you dont already have one.

[vinnY]

definately hit it up with a breaker bar
also make sure you're turning it the right way :)

also remember one of them welded on and you have to take the screw out instead, just a heads up :p

[destrukshn]

breaker bar, or use a impact gun.
if you save yourself from rounding the bolt, you use a hex type socket. with on 6 walls on the socket, that will reduce rounding.

never had a bolt too tight before, esp on suspension

[Fo55il]

breaker bar ?

[destrukshn]

it's a long bar, with the end that you can put a socket on, no ratchet.
and since it's long, you get more leverage, so it will take less effort, to undo the bolt.

You're obviously a girl if you can't undo them...

Leave this kind of work to men

Otherwise a length of appropriate sized pipe on the end of your ratchet will work.
Also are you M or F?

[dupac->]

breaker bar for sure..

works wonders n get some leaverage on that bitch and you'll be cracking every nut with no problems.. get a pole for leaverage..put it on the end of the breaker bar if the breaker bar doesn't work on its own.

if it's a shit brand ratchet it might give way.. even if u got the leaverage.. but also same goes with the breaker bar/torque wrench..

worth paying more $$$ for good tools.

[EKVTIR-T]

^^Umm anywayz hooking 2 spanners together works fine too.

[dupac->]

^^ lol not dissin ur post or anything. it's good.. but just precautions thats all..

ahah coz we were working on my car one time with shithouse tools.. we were left scratchin our nuts coz the ratchets all broke..

can anyone help there ?

[Zdster]

Can you please type using english words and try and put the letters in the right place? I seriously had to re-read your post three times before I could understand what you were asking.

To change the hub out you will have to pull apart most of the suspension and then it should simply slide out.

[destrukshn]

front or rear?

[JasonGilholme]

WD40 helps alot as well. I had a bit of trouble just usin a rachet so i WD40'd them and then they came off alot easier.

If that didn't work it would have been breaker bar time.

[Fo55il]

oh ok 4 real huh lol

i should get sum of dat then

p.s - sorry bout the english, grow up in the south east , talk like the south east lol

peace

im gon go shoppin now n get what i need

[SLPJCooL]

Try spray to bolt with WD40, then use a mofo long Breaker Bar, always works for me everytime!

[Fo55il]

man wd40 is d bomb - got my supension off in a flash BUt
i couldnt get the top bolt of my suspension -
i used an allen key and i used a wrench
but the shits stuck
any ideas on that
i did wd40 it alottt !!! like lots

mayeb it will budge in the morning

but its pissin me off

[Drew]

Try using a little bit less profanity...

That will help get the nuts off

[Fo55il]

sorry bout the language - any other ideas ?

[vtec_king]

lol !!! your a funny one XD. keep up the good work after all that sweat have a VB !

[vinnY]

the allen key's usually in an L shape, put the shorter end of the L into the shock and let the longer end brace itself into the ground(concrete would be best)
get a closed end wrench and crack the bolt loose
remember to compress the springs so you don't lose an eye

[Fo55il]

hahaha - yeah man ive heard of nasty stories bout springs + 1 spring missed my mates head by like 2 inches, n hes a mechanic lol haha - careless bugga!!!

anyways - as stupid as it sound i was forced to get another strut... i had sum lying around frmo my old car, ive done the rear now gon hit the front n see wats happening... haha

ozhonda is great - ive seen diy's for erthin on hea n done it almost erthign atleast - changed suspension, changed brakes, coloured rotors and even changed wheels studs !!!!

thanx ozhonda
