bmcc 10 Posted January 20, 2012 Got avo coilovers on the car, not sure how long they have been on. But from past experience i have found out before that trying to lower them can be a bit of a pain is there any way to inspect/check that they can be easily wound down etc and not come across any problems in doing so i am not to sure how long they gave been on the car but they look ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 20, 2012 Before winding them down, wire brush the threads VERY thoroughly and then give them a good spray with WD40. With any luck they'll then wind down without problems. It doesn't take much grit to completely sieze the spring perch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcc 10 Posted January 20, 2012 yeah i will give them a very good wiring, how hard/easy is it to actually do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 21, 2012 It's gonna take a good while on each one! Would obviously be much easier if you could remov em first, but if that's not an option, just take your time and do a thorough job. It's not difficult, just time consuming. If you manage to get them free, coat the thread with copper slip to ensure easier movement in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
