strut question
this might be a stupid question but im replace the struts in my 89 and everything if off and out of the car and now i cant seem to get the top bolt off the old strut.... when i twist it it just turns the lower part of the assembly and when i hold that it turns the top of the assembly.... when i hold both ends it doesnt turn...at ALL...
is this something were i need to use air tools or am i just an idiot and missing something?
Thanks,
Nathan

Air tools would definitely be the best way to go if you have them.
If you know someone at a shop or service station you could ask them to break them lose and then drive home and remove them.
Other than that they're a bi%#h to brake lose but it can be done.

I don't see why everyone takes everything apart and then complains when they can't get the top nut loose. That is the first thing that comes off when I did mine and then when the strut compresses I just unbolt the lower part and it comes right out. I know the haynes manual says to loosen the plates and all but why????? But likes said before use come vice grips and a helper. Air tools are definitly your best friend.
