I can't help ya with the rain? But if you are trying to remove a shock nut from a shock Tower situation the end of the rod (or Tower) is flattened to fit a crescent wrench. If you use air usually just grab hold of the shock and that is enough?

so u turn the rod, not the nut at the bottom side?

You hold the rod and turn the nut

well they didn't have a coupling nut the right size.... is there an extender or something for the steering rod? i emailed the place i got the lift kit from to see what they say....

i can make it no problem but u'd think it would come with the lift kit

EVLLS1 · 09-07-2008, 02:53 AM
