Since we are on the topic, here is another question:

How do you take the top nut off, if rust has gotten into the hex key housing, and so the hex key (or the allen key) do not keep the shaft intact, and theyfore shaft keeps spinning while you're trying to take the nut off? Use a larger size hex an hammer it in I suppose? (I tried that, and didn't work)...

cut a hole in the dust boot and grab the shaft with vise grips then remove

But then the shaft will get scratched, resulting the seal to break and so the shocks will blow premature...

I guess at this point new shocks should be considered as well?

imported_loudsubz

not it you grasp on as close to the top as possible, push the bumpstop down and grab on where it sits

that way if u do scratch shocks are still ok, but your bump stop is fuxored....

or you can just use an impact wrench then you dont have to worry about allen keys

I get it Matt.
