jporter12 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 PB B'laster is the best! I even have a hat from them! The thing is though, it won't help much on this. The nut he's trying to remove is a locking nut, nas either a nylon insert, or the top of the threads on th enut are slightly deformed to make it hard to take off, so that it won't back off going down the road.

smashweights Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 actually, i dont know if they are locking nuts, i got the top nut off and didnt notice any nylon residue in the nut. now the new KYB struts do have locking top nuts. i did spray them down with some brake cleaner to get some rust off and soaked some WD-40 in them. but the combo of the 02 sensor socket and massive 1" box wrench was more than enough torque to break the nut, the problem is just getting the right socket. i did find a 7/8" spark plug socket online that i'm gonna buy and try. hopefully it'll work.
