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

when we (dustin and i ) did my bad rear mounts last week, we had to cut the rubber portion of the mount away with a sawzall to be able to hold the top of the strut mount to get that nut off.
if you can get a grip on the metal below the mount with a good pair of vice grips, that may help. good luck!
