Banbury Glanza Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 As above anyone have any tips on getting them un-seized ?? Going to have a go tomorrow with wd-40 a vice and hammer. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Let them soak in some oil or wd40 for a little while first if you can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 If push comes to shove you can probably buy new collars. Then cut then off, an screw the new ones on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Brake fluid works well, just try and keep it away from the paint if you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Henderson Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 is it the adjuster rings that are seized? mine did on my corsa, u just used an extention bar and hammer and knoked the rings around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Depends how bad they are, best order some new adjuster rings and cut the old ones off , my tein ones have been seized for years but fortunately I set them exactly how I wanted them years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've re conditioned some for my housemates 200sx just cut the old collars off then wire wheeled the threaded part of the shock. Some places needed a thread file to restore the threads to their former glory. Also when using a vice I would encorage the use of soft jaws. I used 2 pieces of alloy angle iron. Works just as well as soft jaws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
