He said he had it out in the last thread he started. they must be seized. That collar should turn.

Dukeme, just buy some strange tubes and lock rings and toss that other shyt out. Problem solved.

This is the oddest challenge thus far... Something so straight forward is a Bit** to figure out. Oh, they are 13" springs. You can see by the picture that the base of the UPR unit does not turn. I went as far as taking off the nut at the top of the strut and let the strut hang loose so I could further exam the problem. When I take the set screw out, it seems to have no affect what so ever. Do you know if the inner threaded tube screws into the base where the alan screw is located? If not, them I'm stumped.
