Im doing a suspension swap, front and back, truck has a 3 inch lift, and the tabs that the bottom of the front right that the shock would mount to are bent in so i cant remove the old one! Ive tried from the bottom, and wedging on both sides..... WTF!!!!!!!! Suggestions? Oh yeah, Ive broke 2 screw drivers and one chisel.

 

Torch or grind.

 

well i got the old one out, and in the process of getting the ears spread apart i got a friggin screw driver wedged inside the spring down through the hole now!! AGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

 

and now thats out but the ears are still too narrow.............

 

It's so hard to get your screwdriver in when the ears are too narrow. I hate that!

 

Yeah **** it i just ground down the end of the strut to fit.

 

Yay!! Finally Finished!!! With about a dozen oil changes inbetween but what the hell ya know? Not too bad a time.

 

lol, you probobly could have finished about a half hour quicker if you didnt keep stopping to write in this thread.

 

well its finally finished, stuff looks good, and now it rides like a TRUCK INSTEAD OF A CADDY!! I also took off the goofy *** intake tube, and it seems to have a little more pep. Anyone else notice this?

 

And true. I coulda finished sooner, but this is so much fun!!!
