Rear Spring help
Hey Guys,
Trying to replace and put lowering coil springs on the rear of my 69 and cannot get the top bolts broke loose up inside the springs after days of soaking with penetrating oil and using a breaker bar to no avail and busted knuckles. Any idea's, I am sure someone else has had the same problem. Does this bolt screw into a weld nut or a regular nut? (that you can't get to) Appreciate any help or thoughts My only thought is to cut the springs up high with a cut off wheel and then try to cut the bolt head off? Thanks |

Re: Rear Spring help
You can barely see the nut in this pic. It's not to tough to get to though.

Re: Rear Spring help
Cut the old bolts off and replace with new grade 8 bolts,washers and nuts.

Re: Rear Spring help
Well I just stripped the heads off the bolts with the impact wrench so I guess I am cutting them off
