Went to fit some new coil overs today and having some problems with the lower strut bolts (the 2x 19mm). I have the nuts off and can punch the top one through but the bottom just will not budge.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

 

Quick sharp with a hammer did it for me. Hate those bolts, were 60% of total time taken when doing my suspension change...

 

Thanks mate.its a complete PITA..!! I used plenty of WD but it just won't slide through...grrrr

 

Bigger hammer

 

Rock the strut back and fore whilst trying to screw the bolt out. It is difficult to remove due to having pressure on it.
