Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
I was on the X forums and found a thread about a guy having trouble getting the top hat off his struts for a spring install. I lol'd at this one response.
"I had the exact same thing happen to me! I had all my springs done, got to the last rear one and the top nut, supposedly ~ 26 ft-lbs, would not come off. I used everything but an impact, which I didn't have, ended up using a pipe wrench on the threads and the ****ing nut still wouldn't come loose! I ended up leaving it on jack stands for 5 weeks while I waited for coilovers to come in...That was $2k I didn't plan on spending but in the end I was glad I did, just not under those circumstances!"
