having a right nightmare with these FK coilovers at the rear............had them on since last september...........basically ive put custom springs on the rear, but because they are going so low, the threaded bit of the rear coilover setup is too tall and getting in the way........
ive got some smaller threaded post to go on, but cant seem to get the old one off
im at the stage now where the car is jacked up on both sides, both shocks taken off, and the rear axle is hanging down with no springs on.........from what i can see, there is just one bolt and a large washer holding the threaded pole on........so i thought, easy enough, take the bolt out, washer off, and remove the threaded pole...........but this dosent seem to want to happen......
my question is......do this part of the FK rears have a little bit that sits in a hole on the axle to keep it in place as well as the bolt? because its stuck good and proper..................
ive tried a few things to get them out, including putting the bolt back in halfway, and hitting it upwards with a hammer, to no avail...... i cant see any other way that i could get it out, it seems to be a really tight fit :S
does anyone have any ideas how i can get this off, as i need the shorter one on!!
cheers :approve:
