FK's Rear adjustable Help...



  Astra 1.9Cdti SRi
Correct me if im worng but, is this the right way to remove the FK Adjustable's from the reat..

Remove bolt on shock,
(lower the rear axle using jack to a certain hight)
remove spring,
underneath remove 19mm bolt inc washer (which is connected to the big adjuster stem)

Then WHAT ? :S

im seriously stuck, mine wont budge atall, WD40 two nights now so it soaks up to make it easier to remove but nothing, even remove'd the platforms to make it easier for me,

Iv tried:

smacked a small socket from underneath to release it.
Hammer and chisel from underneath,
hammer and a old snooker cue
spring clamps (1 coonect to insde of the adjuster, and otheron axle, no luck)

anyone care to share some light on the matter its doin my head int :mad:

marksport figured this one out when both mine and middos were seized on...

jack the car up, take off the back wheel, get a big socket (30mm ish) inside the top of the platform with the wrench attached.

Apply force, use a pole for leverage if they're on tight.

But 30mm biggest iv got is 21 :p il have a snoop in halfords,
