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! --------------------  |

[right][snapback]315945[/snapback][/right] i've tried this already and did not work.. once i turn the top nut on the strut it turns the shock also which means that it isn't opening but is just turning.... -------------------- |
