mmt 14 Posted June 10, 2020 Hi guys, I’m stock looking for some tricks and tips as I’m out of ingenuity. the adjustable ring on one of my Spare coilovers is completely stock. There is no corrosion to see However the alu ring is Stock to the steel damper. I have tried everything in my book of abuse and now the alu ring looks like crap still in working order except it Does not move at all. I’m one step away from angle grinder mayhem. tips and trips much appreciated. thanks. /M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,621 Posted June 10, 2020 those rings are usually pretty cheap so I would source some and just cut it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mac Crash 78 1 Cars Posted June 10, 2020 even had this problem with Bilsteins despite having the correct key, got it moving in the end with lube and chisels... as WP say's, cut it off and replace it, threads are fairly fine, not much else you can do.

mmt 14 Posted June 11, 2020 Thanks guys. Gave it hell last night. It had been soaking in rust penetrating Oil for 2days. More heat, chisel and a bigger hammer! all good now. filed the edges and painted it. Looks fine’ish now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
