h&r adjustment

[luke2405]

Trying to raise my h&r's as they are rubbing on the front but cant seem to undo the adjuster as tried soaking it in plus gas for a day but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do ?

Thank you
Luke

screwdriver + hammer. Give it a lot of little taps, where the adjuster-tool is supposed to go there is enough place to place the screwdriver The rings are i think counter-tightened towards eachother so they will need a bit of force (although i think the "tapping" should work better

^^ oh yeh ; have you seen where they are rubbing on ? Might only be the bumper-bracket ? If this is the case then the bracket can also be bend/modified/grinded .
When checking this (rubbing spot) you will see it is the ONLY place where rubbing is possible because there's loads of space in the wheelarch; except for the bracket sticking out ! When sitting in front of the wheel , feel along the arch/screen and it will be on the top left (passenger side this case)

If you're not silly low, this is i think your rubbing prob.

they can sieze up completley and you end up cutting them off and fitting new ones, pain in the arse but the parts are available no bother

^^ right..

And also.. Fred can help you with the bumper-bracket-mod !

yeah it is just the bumper bracket but the car sits too low for my liking looks like im going to ground out over every bump
