AP coilover help..

Post by matt_123 »

Right I want to lower the front down took the wheel off today to lower her down some more but cant seem to budge the grub type screw in order to twist the coilover down .. it seems to be done up so bloody tight I feel if i try any harder its just going to round it off? does anyone have any other ideas maybe? cheers!

Wash it with a pressure washer then wd40 it form top of the coil seat aswell as through the screw the put the alan key in it give it a tap with the hammer then try. If it rounds off, hammer a torx bit into it don't panic tho
