You can put a shifter on the bottom flats, to hold it from spinning, or you can put stillson wrench on the bottom of the shocker itself where the weld is at the bottom - to hold it from turning and undo the nut.

Worst case scenario, is to cut the bottom nut with a hacksaw from the bottom up the the base of the nut - just wide of the thread and it will then just undo easily, as the nut will stretch and spread.

the nut will stretch and spread.

that tends to happen as you get older

I thought they would just stretch and hang... Not spread. Lol

How did you go?

[MyGU8]

soaked it with WD40... will see how it works... kids' homework time now so need to wait...

Pipe wrench and spanner with long pipe worked OK.

All around Koni 82's with stock Spring now, will drive a bit and see how firm springs I will need for a better ride.

I also recieved a brake line spacer, not sure where to install this.... Any idea please...

Thanks
