Iain-gti 6 Posted September 5, 2012 Hi, I am currently stripping down my Gaz coilovers but cant undo the top securing nut. Theres a 22mm nut over a thread shaft with two flat spot at the top to hold it with. Problem is cant hold both and undo. Is the a special tool or technique? Thanks in advance Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batfink 201 Posted September 5, 2012 then it would be a rebuild. Its really not going to struggle though with a simple top nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,536 Posted September 5, 2012 If you are feeling really rough you can get hold of the very top of the rod where it will never go near the shaft seals with mole grips. I have done this before albeit only on old u/s dampers that I wanted the springs off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batfink 201 Posted September 5, 2012 I use an electric impact hammer if you want something with a little less torque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo7379 3 Posted September 5, 2012 You need to crack off that 22mm nut before taking the strut off the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
