Hi guys ... anyone got a whizzbang idea on how i get the shocks out of the front strut ?? Limited resources available to me ... ie I have no vice (which would help) or a wrench big enough to get around the collar.
Wd40 has been liberally applied but bugger won't budge with a srewdriver and hammer !!

Thanks in advance ......

hi mate, i done mine last weekend as it goes, but mine but i was able to just undo it with a hammer and a long nail punch. i just layed it on the floor soaked in in wd40 and just smacked the nut round with tha hammer and punch, it gave after a while. can you not borrow a wrench off some on you no??
