What the problem with wd40

Click to expand...

Not good in rubber and stuff... its a water dispersant... not degreaser and penatrating.

torque setting: "keep tightening until it snaps, then back off a quarter turn"

I think a pic would paint a thousand words of the Allen key in the hole and the spanner on the nut, in addition a picture with the nut off and a spanner on the flats on the rotating part in question, I don't have any drop links to do this but I suspect it would help sort it all out.

Found this which shows the Allen key hole in the part which I assume is the troublesome part so it may help

I still don't get you :-( Any nut, being self-lock or not will eventually be full tight ! Unless the 'screw' part rotates I can't see any difference between a nylstop and a standard nut...

I'll do a video later today to explain and all can see

Hey berne

as stated I have done a video, for yourself and all to get what i was on about. thanks again

Sorry guys, cant take any pics of how i explained it until Saturday... my car is still in bits on the friends drive beside the workshop... i have my new shocks that fit (hurray) and springs being delivered by ggb in person by the guys as there in my home town... so i finally have all the bits...

I will take some pics of my drop links when i refit them and the top of my front shocks... they both have the allen key hole to lock the bar the nut is on...
