what can i use to loosen up my coilovers? i went to lower it another .5" in the rear and had no problems. when i went to do about 1" up front i found both coilovers to be rusted. sprayed an entire can of wd-40 on the two of them and still nothing. tried everything to loosen them up with tools. any ideas?

 

Blow torch?







Naw.. prolly hit them with PB Blaster for a couple days. Little bit twice a day for 3 days usually does it for me when loosening up rusted stuff.

 

+1 for PB Blaster

 

WD-40 is crap compared to PB. and ya you might need to torch it. there's also this awesome stuff stuff called kroil, works wonders if you can get your hands on some. you also might want to use something other than the flimsy wrench look thing to turn it if it's that tight

 

Don't use a torch on the shocks. If you heat them up too hot you could rupture the seals and cause the oil or gas to leak out.

 

just ordered some PB Blaster

 

ordered? don't tell me you can't get PB blaster from Pep boys or autozone, advance auto or NAPA in Cali. i wanted to live in Cali too but not being able to readily get PB is a major problem for me lol

 

Ive found PB here. They have it in the autozone on H street in Chula Vista.

 

Heh.. I was at General Dollar yesterday and saw some... $2.50.
