hondalifestyleuk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 hi, just thought id say Hello, I'm Steve own a facebook group called hondalifestyleuk, joined as been working on my sons starlet for a few months now 1997 ep91 Sportif Glanza Rep he has brought some Tein lowering springs 57mm fronts 50mm rears, having trouble removing the top nut on the front suspension towers as the nut is so solid on the top of the shocker and there is no allen key hole in the top to hold while we try and undo the nut holding the whole unit together ad its not budging any ideas without damaging the shocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I used an impact driver with a socket on it and the nut just span right off. Failing that. Mole grip grips Quote Link to post Share on other sites
