hey, i'm trying to take apart my suspension but the 19mm nut that holds the springs and shocks together won't open. it turns but then the cartridge spins with it. i tried using a vise grip to stop the cartridge from spinning but it still turns. anyone have this problem? and can give me some help removing the nut?
thanks inadvance! --------------------  |

You need a 19mm socket or wrench on the other side to stop the whole nut and bolt from spinning. And jacking up the hub with the little factory jack just enough to push it up a tiny bit helps too.
