92 GP Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 i dunno WTF, maybe my bolts are just siezed on there? I'm stuck with my rear looking like this ATM My question, is how the fuck does that knuckle come off?? Do the bolts turn, like are they threaded, or do they slip out? I smacked them a few times, nothing. I took a goddamn monkey wrench to them, wouldn't turn. WTF??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 They don't turn, you have to hammer them out. They are kinda-sorta splined (small splines). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intlcutlass Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Looks like you took the spring out? What you gotta do is pound out those bolts... they don't turn. Put the socket over the bolt head and use a small or an 8lb sledgehammer.... good luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Damn, you removed a bunch of stuff that was unnecessary! :shock: Well I guess what's done is done . Check the FAQ section, Intlcutlass did a kick-ass writeup on removing the rear struts. I took his advice and kept the nuts on, then put a socket over the nuts (one at a time of course) and smacked the socket with a small sledge hammer. They popped right out. Before you reinstall the splined bolts, be sure to coat them with anti-sieze so they'll pop right out the next time you change the struts...
