Default Can someone help me install coilovers today?
Hey everybody, is there anybody local that can help me out with installing my kw's? I installed the rears yesterday as they were easy, but I haven't been able to remove the control arm bottom bolt for the fronts. Looks like my mechanic installed it too tight last time. I also have drive shaft spacers that I need to put on as well. I'm located in walnut. Dinner & lunch on me. Let me know!

just take off the bolts that hold the upper A arms to the chassis. you can swing out the arm and have easier access that way.

I'm referring to the bolt that bolts the bottom of the coilover. I can't remove this as I think it's torqued too tight. Here's a reference picture:

Use a breaker bar for some leverage?

Definitely. I even used some wd40 but the bolt still doesn't want to come loose.

Get some NUT & BOLT LOOSENER Spray from home depot. Way better than wd-40. Just watch where you spray it.
