Hi people, Ive been fitting my friends FK lowering springs today on his MK2b punto and had a few snags, The back was easy and had that done in not time, but with the front i had 2 problems.
Firstly, I got the front suspension strut out and used the coil spring clamps and tightened them down so the top cap of the spring was nice and loose, meaning there was no pressure being exurted (s.p) on it. But then i tried to remove the nut on the top of the shock for ages with no luck, do you have any tips on the best way to do this so i can sway the springs over?
After failing that i tried to refit the standard shock and spring because we thought we'd carry on with it tomorrow but he ddint want to leave his car jacked up overnight, so i tried putting the shock back in and couldnt for the life of me get it to line up with the two bolt holes on the brake/hub assembly?
Cheers, Matt
