I'm trying to go lower on my coilovers but the damn locking collar on one side is seized up on me. The lower collar moves fine, but the upper one that the spring actually sits on wont move for shit. I've sprayed PB Blaster, and Seafoam Deep Creep on it. Have tried hitting threads with a wire brush to clean them up. And have tried to force it to move by using a hammer on the spanner wrench and also a big fucking pipe. Collar just refuses to move but I wanna go lower! Any ideas?

ive heated a few coils up before and they were fine
another thing would be to take the coil off the car and work on it with a bench vise, not sure after that as my friend had a neighbor loosten a set up before by slowly working the collar back and forth slowlyMy super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs
