I've just about had enough of this. After destroying one socket set now I'm stuck with my car on axle stands and undrivable. :evil:
I managed to remove the shock absorber with some persuasion, but now I'm stuck getting the upper assemly mountings off to put on the new one. I have a 19mm crank spanner and socket but every time I try to undo the piston rod nut the socket adapter just bends or breaks. Is there a way I can get this thing off a little easier?
Anybody else found this a stupidly difficult job?
