this rep crap is annoying

i never felt a need to change my ride height before so i never thought of spraying them every oil change

and im not bragging about the price of mine. i know its annoying... i just didnt want annoying assholes giving me useless information that i either already know or that serves me no purpose.

but is pb that much different than the stuff that i was using?

remember lefty loosey, righty tighty... haha jk

you need to get some more leverage. take a long piecs of tubing, like a jack handle, slip it over the wrench and give it a good, smooth pull. if that doesn't do it i'll be supprised. good luck and try not to break anything.

I've seen stupid shit done... always gotta ask the basics.

I've seen people try to turn the perch and lock nut the same direction at the same time. Yea.. not gonna work like that. Or they put the jack/stand under the control arm/axle, yea the cars jacked up but the weights still on the springs.
