IWSTI Addict since: May 2005 Trader Rating: (4) | I'm having a hell of a time tightening down the top strut bolt. My strap wrench fits in there but it just can't get enough grip on the shaft to keep it from spinning. I tried zapping it with the impact wrench at a low setting but it didn't really even seem to budge. Anyone have any idea on how many threads I should have sticking out? Cause on the front I don't have any! Should I crank up the impact gun some more and zap again? I don't really like the idea of that...... Pics: Front: ![]() Rear: ![]() Thanks!
