tips for taking off newage rear passenger side shock?
 

Hey all,

Need to whip the rear passenger side suspension off, I finally managed to do the top bolt with an inpact gun, but now I can't get the bottom bolt off or even get it to move. I can't get the impact gun in there as it's too big, and everything else I have tried is not making it move. Plus it's stupidly close to the driveshaft/cv boot which is making me a bit more careful..

So any suggestions? Is it worth taking off the caliper, disc, dust cover etc?

It's been soaked time and time again in WD40, going to buy some proper penetrative fluid to see if that helps, but could do with tips..

A massive breaker bar and a massive guy to do it worked for me.

Is there not risk of rounding the bolt, or even smacking the car when it cracks loose?!

There is a risk of smacking the car, just put the breaker on the part that turns away from the arch.

Right, I've found the driveshaft and CV boot are in the way?

I had one hell of a job getting bottom bolt off tried heating it had a breaker bar on it eventually had to get 4 new bolts and drill old ones off.Job done :thumb:

I managed it in the end. Was going to do a quick write up at some point to help others actually.
