#1: Strut clamp bolt Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Sep 09, 2011 8:58 am ---- Hi im currently in the process of fitting some coilovers for my car however ive removed everything and loosen the strut clamp bolt (not fully off as its stuck at the end) but there's enough room for the strut to be pulled out however it just dont want to move? :S i dont know if its because the strut bolt isnt fully out? or? any ideas?
Thanks
Luke

I believe there is a special tool available to do this. I've never used one though. You do normally need a chunky hammer to knock the hub off the damper though.
You have removed the hub from the ball joint haven't you?
You should also buy new nuts and bolts when doing usch jobs?

Keep turning the bolt and work it back in and out, use some lub, then a drift through of around the same size should knock it out

I sometimes put bolster in to grove on back, just to open it up a tiny bit.
