Hey guys!
I need some help please! I have a Toyota Yaris which is dropped on some MeisterR dual perch coilovers ----> http://www.meisterr.com
and I went to lower the fronts about another inch. The drivers side was fine even though the bottom collar was a bit hard and difficult to move, after a while it went fine, also soaked them in wd40 and grease.
Now the passengers side is where Ive got a big issue. The bottom collar was pretty stuck, I got a screwdriver and a hammer and hit it a few times after soaking it with wd40 and after a while it moved and I was able to loosen it. Of course after cleaning the threads, then next thing was to move the shock body into the shock case via the spring perches to lower the car as with any dual perch coilover. I was able to move it about 2 turns, then the thing got completely stuck, the threads going into the shock body itself, now Im unable to turn them either way and dont know what ot do. Im afraid that the threads which have gone into the shock case are damaged and I wont be able to turn them out? Im also afraid to do basically anything before asking you guys, because either way I turn or try forcefully to turn via the perches, might destroy the threads and then Im done even though their 100% steel.
Does anybody have some suggestions for me please? Id really appreciate it!
Thanks!
