Stuck rear strut.


Recommended Posts

The rear strut on my 1980 280ZX is frozen in place on the place where the bottom 17mm bolt goes. I am trying to upgrade my suspension to Tokico parts and need to remove the whole assembly. I have tried penetrating oils and a hammer and it still will not come off. I have all four necessary nuts and bolts off to remove it, but it will not break free. I have already done the left rear on the car so I know what I am doing for the rears. The left rear only required one light tap from the hammer to easily slide off. Has anyone had this type of problem before? Is there a trick that I do not know of for removing frozen parts? This is driving me crazy.
