can't get front stock shock out... advise needed.
today I tried to intall my konis yellows wrapped in eibachs pro kit. I got done with the back no problems, but when I tried to get the front drivers side strut out, I couldn't. I have tried for 3 HOURS and no luck . I can't get the bottom of the shock out of the lower shock mount. I banged on that f*cker with a hammer (and tried various other things) for 3 hours.
Has anybody had problems getting their shocks out? Any idea what I can do?

also I'm wondering if steering the hub with the seering wheel will slightly release some pressure in the lower shock mount... we'll see .

well if you jack only one side of the car, the swaybar will be loaded, thus pushing the lower A arm up. try jack the whole front end up and unbolt the swaybar.
