'74 2.0, 24K miles all original
Teeners, When I first got this car revived (it was parked in '84, I revived it in 2018) i left the shocks alone. IN 2019 I installed a nice system in the rear. This year I am doing the front - all bushings, and other rubber parts (ball joints). The project came to a halt, I cannot get the strut out of the cylinder  I will rig a system to press it out later today I am checking in to see if there might be something I may be missing? I have hit is pretty hard to try and loosen it, no luck yet, soaked it with Liquid Wrench over night.  Thanks! |
