kcambron Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have a stuck strut cartridge in my 73 front spindle, is a 1975 spindle the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 No. Drill a 3/8" hole in the bottom of the strut with the stuck shock, spray in some WD40, PB Blaster, Rost Off, etc. and let it soak upside down for a bit. Then take a pin punch and a hammer and pound the shock out. Weld up the hole or plug it with a rubber plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Other option if you aren't going to re-use the strut cartridge is use a slide hammer on the end of the shaft to pull it out. You may have to use Johns methods at the same time as the slide hammer if it's really rusted in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
