    Hot Rod

    Hey guys, Smokinspeeds and I installed my front springs this weekend and I was doing the back yesterday and after getting the first rear assembly off I was trying to get the bolt off the top that holds the top hat and everything together...

    It was impossible to get the nut off... While trying to get it off my dad and I stripped the allen nut on the top.. Now the front of my car is lowered and the rear is still sitting high and it looks like a hot rod. How am I going to get it apart now

    When we did dj-blitz's wagon we had the same problem. Try using a larger allen wrench and drench the bolt with PB Blaster. It works wonders.

      Yep try to get a bigger wrench in there. One of mine were stuck . We took a bigger allen head while I got a buddy with a box end wrench and pipe to nudge it off. Worked wonders. This was before we found out about pb blaster lol but that will help with gettin off the nut too.
