Problem with rear shock install
I'm having this problem with the old shock/spring assembly. I have it out and I just need the spring seat, etc off the top to put on the new shock and spring, but I can't get the nut and washer off. I have the spring compressed to releave the pressure off the spring seat but when I turn the nut, the rod in the old shock rotates as well. Any ideas how to get this apart?

Are you replacing the rear shock? If you don't care about your stock rear shocks, you can clamp vice grips around the shaft to keep it from turning.

Take a nut cracker to it... Break that beotch off the bolt, and get a new nut.
Its rough, but its a great cheap tool to have around working on FC's. I'd never have gotten my exhaust apart without it.
