Re: Rear Shock removal - new questions... Posted by Saabina [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Rear Shock removal - new questions..., Snowmobile ![]() ![]() |
Just did this job on two c900 cars. It can turn what should be an easy job into an extended wrestling match. I use a tire tool on the bolt head (the 4-way one that has a cross bar so you can use both hands) and trap a box wrench on the nut. Even if you break the nut free, the bolt will likely be permanently seized into the metal sleeve in the lower bushing which means you can get the nut off but not pull the bolt out. If you are lucky, a hammer and drift might drive it free from the inside. If not, remove the leading control arm complete with shock still attached and hacksaw the bolt on both sides. There is just enough room to feed a hacksaw blade through and then replace it in the saw's frame to start cutting. You'll also need a replacement bolt to complete the job. Good Luck!
