ShakotanDL Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 How would I go about removing the bolt for the tophat on these struts? Does it HAVE to be on the car to remove the bolt? The rod just keeps spinning and i cant get the nut off, in the past I have always been able to take this bolt off after removing the strut from the car but for this it seems it may be different? I know on the wrx there is a spot for an allen wrench to keep it from spinning but idk about these. Any help please? :E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasP Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Spray the hell out of it with penetrating oil. I always put a vice grip around the shock shaft as high up as I can. That method has always worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
