Hey guys,

So my ohlins are here and i decided to chuck them on myself. Everything went smoothly until i got to the strut bolts. i think there 18-19mm and there stuck on very tightly..

Is there a tool i can use to get them off with?? Apart from a rattle gun..

any help would be appreciated..

breaker bar.

or slide a pipe over the ratchet and use leverage.

hmm thanks chee i may go down to bunnings and grab one..

for those that have taken these bolts off, which way does the bolt loosen?? towards the car or away from the car..

with the fronts make sure you hold the bolt whilst you crack the nut as one of them is the camber bolt and if you start trying to break that bolt intead of the nut you will fuck it

I had massive issues getting one of mine undone. Ended up getting it undone with a cold chisel and a hammer. Ruined the nut but got it undone and then replaced it.

Also get yourself a can of loctite freeze and release. Makes WD40 look like water...It is about $8 bucks a can and is hollywood.

Good stuff Tino.. heh you couldn't have waited could ya?! haha
All the times Ive ripped out strut bolts has been via breaker bar and '6 point' impact socket and sometimes with CRC. You gotta bring it over and show us!
