I tried to install my d2 coilovers today and I could not uninstall the coilovers on the car because the bottom bolts and nuts have alot of torque on them I think I might need some sort of air tool. Can some body help me uninstall the six bolts on the coilovers? I'm located in stamford connecticutt.

 

the coil over doesnt need an airgun if your replacing them only if your takeing them apart use a breaker bar

Tried hand tools and liquid wrench and I could not get the large bolts off. I know air tools would do the trick but I dont have any.

 

Is their anybody who could help me that has air tools?

 

Stick your floor jack handle over your wrench. Its really not that hard to break loose.

 

Thats what I used to install and uninstall my mines brace. I tried using the jack with wrench and it sliped on the bolt a little and the bolt got a little stripped I might try it again tommorrow but more carefully. The larger bolts are on alot tighter than I expected. What I noticed too is that the coilover was compressing while I was trying to break the nuts loose what a pain.

 

coat it with wd40 over night..you are holding a wrench on the bolt side while TQ'ing the nutt side right?

 

Agree, put some good old WD-40 and let it over the night, will be cake. Going to install my coilover as well soon, and have no air tool.

 

It will break, u just need WD-40 and leverage. 1 person holds the bolt head with a wrench and the other breaks the nut with a breaker bar. If it still doesnt break then get a steel pipe on that breaker bar and more muscles.

 

I'll help if you remove my tag from your profile hahah
