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

Just make sure you don't mess up the silky-smoothness of the strut.
I'll spare you the details on why, but the second time I did it I took and impact wrench to it while it was still in the wheel well. It worked. --------------------  |
