A mate of mine, and fully qualified mechanic have hit a snag when installing Jamex springs into the already existent shock absorbers. The fronts went in just fine, no problems but as soon as we hit the rear we just couldn't get the damn top bolt from the shock removed so as to put the new spring in. It just kept spinning around with the shock shaft to no avail. We've tried shocking it with a hammer, using CRC to loosen it up, vice grips on the end..
Anyone got any tips as to how to remove the top-hat bolt without causing further damage? The thread on the 'bolt' looking portion has taken a hammering already. And before asked, I have looked through a sh** tonne of google sites.
Cheers.
