    I was going to try and find a place kind of centralized and if it happens once a month as a regular thing then it could be on their schedules.

    If you are replacing the shock just grab the shaft with a pair of vise grips, also sometimes there is a hex key in the top of the shaft or 2 flats cut that you can put a wrench on or vise grips.

    Does the top of the strut shaft have any flats or a hex key? Also try heating the nut up with a map gas torch first sometimes you need to free up some loctite or nyloc nut or just plain rust then vise grip it and try again

    Try heating the nut pretty good then grabbing the shaft with your standard vice grips.

    No problem glad it worked out! :thumbsup:

    When I was a tech one of my mentors was a guy who spent most of his career in the North and his best advice was to not waste a ton of time with trying to loosen things gracefully and grab what he called the gas wrench a.k.a the oxy/acetylene torch. But for the homegamer map is hotter than propane so it does better.

    All stock... for now
    Does anyone on here have experience getting windows tinted in the area? I'm new to the area and wanted to find somewhere that does a good job, because I don't want to get a bad tint job done.
    Thanks

    Dreamworks Motorsports in Roxboro does an awesome job. They may be far for you. That's who did mine. I am sure there are others in the area that may be closer.
