Ground Control coilovers stuck

[Nevin]

My front GC coilovers are stuck in position. I can't raise or lower it. I jacked my car up off the ground and I loosened the allen nut completely. I try to turn the spindle by hand and it won't budge. Next, I try to hammer the spindle and it moves slighty. I contacted Ground Control and asked if they have wrenches and they said NO. I think the front spring is compressed (even with the car jacked up) and has a lot of pressure on the spindle and maybe that's why it's not moving? What should I do?

Nevin I made a tool so I can turn mine, if you want to bring your car down to try it let me know. Mine gets stuck all the time and I have to use the tool I made. I also use a strap around the coilover and that works to.

nix nix, that and the fact that my spring rates were lik 125 on the ground controls for my 240 is why i sold them b4 i ever even installed lol... i wont buy coilovers again until i save up for some gp-sports ones or something ($2000) for now RsR race springs with 5kg rates should do fine... compared to eibachs which are only 2.5kg [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img]

That sounds good. I'll bring my car down whenever your free either Saturday or Sunday at Maple Grove and see if we can loosen the coilovers.

Someone told me that they used Skunk2 wrenches on the GC's and they fit. Maybe I should buy some Skunk2 wrenches? hmm..
