stupid qu but i am trying to chande rear bushes on shock absorbers and cannot get the bootom nut of the damper undone. the shocks bottom tube just keeps spinning round and dnt have alot of tools with me at the min. any advice would be much appreciated.
 
get a pair of stilsons on the bottom of the lower shock tube, in between the spring coils. just be careful not to damage it too much.
there's an 8mm flat on the bottom end of the threaded rod (below the nut) you could try an 8mm spanner on. it's never worked for me though.
 
thanks. but i dnt have stillsons only have mole grips and not quite big enough to grip the tube. very limited supply of tools at the moment until i get back to uk. ill try the nut on the bootom tomoz. thnx alot for reply
 
i would cut them of but i need too drive from burgundy to gloucestershire in 2 weeks.
i would by new ones but breaking it as soon as i get home anyways putting the engine into my defender.
 
cus the amount of banging at the rear is unbelievable plus i got to drive 650 miles back home with 5 dogs in the boot aswell! for the sake of a fiver i may aswell do it.
took me 1 hour to change today manage to get a pair of stilson on it.
