Title: Change of shocks and springs
Post by: Brucewaynemanor on September 14, 2015, 04:17:09 PM

I have a new set of shocks and springs to go on my tj

Is there any tips for stopping the shocks turning while I'm undoing the top bolt?

Thanks

At the top of the threaded part there is normally a 'flat' on each side that can be gripped with a wrench or a spanner.

Air impact gun on full works well too.
