i've done suspension work a few times, but yesterday i was trying to put my springs on and couln't get the to strut bolts to break loose. any suggestions to get these things off, i don't have access to any power tools for this and don't want to take it somewhere for such a simple job....here is where i'm talking about:



thanks

 

Put your wrench on there and get a long hollow tube to extend the wrench (metal for sure) and push up like a banshee.

 

But watch your fender!

 

also known as a breaker bar.

I use the tube method when i have to, but have opted to just buy a bar, because i've killed numerous 3/8 drive ratchets, and got tired of going back to sears for a new one.

 

that's what i was thinking. i thought about doing this, but possibly hitting my fender scares me
