Unceasing coilovers

[Dec]

Going to have a stab at lowering the front of my car again today, but last time the were ceased so had to stop. Any times for getting them undone at all?

Cheers

Daryls were FK's like yours, he took them off the car and pressured washed them.

first i wire brush the threads
then WD40 and give them a good clean
I use a hammer and punch to get the adjuster rings to move

Then an oil filter removal tool (the rope type) similar to this HERE but a better quality one. The coilover spanners are crap imo.

Once adjusted. I copper grease the threads. Dirt sticks to the copper grease but the threads stay clean.

pressure wash and place in bucket of diesel. 

ether grease and bandage them or  spray on underseal to stop them seizeing again

Waxoil is also recommend for putting on them to stop them seizing up again.
