Also, if your trying the trick of putting it in a vice and using leverage...
Have a good think of which way to push/pull on the bar to loosen it and how you place the coilover in the vice...
Certain ways will make it wanna move in the vice and make it hard, other ways it will be no dramas...
Just some common sense really.
BUMP
Some progress has been made. Managed to loosen the 2 things(i dunno wats its called) used to adjust the ht. My friend dad who is a mechanic managed to get it off, but now they are not useable. However, he said he could custom build 2 of those things for the coilovers so it will be back to normal again.
So, is it normal to custom built those 2 adjustment thingy and if cant be custom made, i am sure it can be bought from suspension shop? Its jus a coilover spare part?
Please reply urgent!!!!!!!!!
i tink the thing i was refering to is the Coilovers lock nut, found on every coilover to lock the desired ht.
I think they can be easily purchased at suspension shop or spare part shop?
Some1 pls say something..lol
not sure if its "normal" to custom build those rings, i wudnt think they break too often, but i guess nething can be made. if u know the model of ur coilover then u shud be able to purchase some spare parts.
Just contact a Cusco Zero dealer and ask them if they have any spares that they can sell you.
thrashed the rings hard aye.
lol
i had same problem. just used wb40 drove around for acouple of days. then boom
looose as a goose.!
but those lock nuts are replacable eh? i mean in order to get it out, u have to damage it. No choice. Its ***ed. Tried everyway aaronng suggested still to no avail. So i guess i jus wait and see wats next.
Yes, they are replaceable. Make sure the next person who does up the rings doesn't overtighten them.
yeah.. mine got loose within acouple of days of spraying the wd40
just needed to be patient dude.
but yeah now its f*cked cant really do much but try to source the part u need.
like are all the teeth on the rings gone? or whats wrong with it?
yeah most of the teeth on ring gone. Ahh.. jus source new parts la.. The guy said he can do it. And he is a family fren so no worries bout price la.. Anyway will update this thread. Haha i hope this thread can be helpful with future coilover noobs who bought stuck shit. I dun tink theres a thread on this yet. haha..
I had this problem and a can of CRC fixed all the issues, then a good clean.
yeah its just the weight of the springs pushing against it that makes it hard to turn the first few times.. and along with dirt n shit stuck between the rings n thread..
