We ran up against a problem. On the stock strut, we sheared off the top of the strut while trying to turn the strut nut and holding the shaft with an 8mm socket thru the 22mm socket. Anyone ever run into this? How do you now remove the nut? We tried to grab the shaft below the strut bearing and upper spring perch to hold the shaft but couldn't get any grip on the shaft. When we put everything back together, we found that Bentley is once again incomplete or in error. To get the strut back onto the spindle you must remove the sway bar link. Bentley says that this is only for M3's. Once we did this (after removing the control arm ball joint we got the strut back onto the spindle. -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

The high-speed spinning and the impact action is enough to get it off. >This weekend my son and I tried to replace the front strut with the new >Koni/H&R set up. >We ran up against a problem.

In that case you have the weight of the car bearing down on the top of the shaft at the spring cup, more than enough grip to prevent the shaft from spinning. Also, the self locking nuts at the top of the strut have a plastic insert. Soften the plastic with a minute or two of a small/medium size flame tip from a propane torch straight down on the nut, and it will come off easier. If the strut shaft still wants to spin, you can get a good grip on it with either a large channel lock, sometimes called a "water pump plier", or a vise grip, squeezed tightly at the top of the shaft directly under the spring cup. Use a rag between the plier jaws and the metal. Then resoften the plastic nut insert before turning the nut. hth, Barry Kazuto Okayasu wrote: > At 10:22 PM 12/4/2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The "classic" way of doing this is to spin the nut off with an impact > wrench.

I think I posted this before when you asked- anyway - buy a O2 sensor socket at your local autoparts store. Buy liquid wrench and squirt the hell out of the old sensor mounting point, let it soak for a while and then use the wrench to remove it. it really should take about 5 minutes not including jacking the car up and the time to allow the liquid wrench to soak into it.
