rod_b Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Well, I put in new KYBs this weekend and was trying to install my 1" spacers but I couldn't get the bolts out of the upper mounting plate. How hard are they to get out? I was gonna really hammer on them but I was afraid I might bend the mount and ruin it. Is there an easier way? Could I just grind the bolts off?

Hammer the h*** out of them, they pop out just like wheel bolts/lugs. They are pressed in and you may bend the plate a little, unless you get several sharp cracks at them...don't miss! Lol.

nissandoms47 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 If you have a press, put a socket thats bigger then the bolt on the "head" side of the bolt and they pop right out. They're just like wheel studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitTheTrails Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I agree with nissandoms47. I just used a socket and my bench vise, worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxman0324 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 So i can't understand... can i use a hammer for get the bolts out ?? I haven't press yup...i took a 2 lb sledge and found a good place to site the upper strut mount on so the spring doesn't absorb the shock and it took two whacks per bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
