I just went to a mechanic to have this done as when I tried laying down, I couldn’t get enough power to loosen. He then said he couldnt do it as he wasn’t able to get the bolt out when he undid it because the shock is pushing down on the outside element of the nut? He went on to say that even if you did get the bolt out (by smacking it), getting it all lined back up again would be a nightmare? Any idea. Mine is a 2011
It's just a nut and bolt should come straight off. It might be tight but should come off. Just give it some. If you are local next to hyde Cheshire let me know I'll do it for you
@@TEAMR4ULTV nah man was all good. I got dirty and proved my mechanic wrong. Cheers for the help man, easy job. I would say, mechanic initially cracked my bolts, couldn’t get enough leverage lying down.. this is a standing job
Nicely done matey that. Ill just go try it now. Cheers
Brilliant thanks very much for the help.
Thanks for watching really appreciate it.

Wouldnt it be easier to use a pair of spring compressors?
Thanks for watching really appreciate it. I'll be honest I wouldn't recommend it. So much tension on the springs
@@TEAMR4ULTV U kidding? Loosing an arm is half the fun..... ill try with the "release spring" way then, about to replace my springs, tx !
