Vauxhall Owners Club Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I've usually kept the vehicle weight on the ground and used an impact wrench on the nut and its worked. As it is rubber mounted at the top of the damper then this can absorb some of the impact from the wrench and cancel out the torque being applied. Also may be worth using a long breaker bar if you can get it in the space Can always spin it on a couple of turns to jack it up again Maybe take it to a garage with a bigger impact wrench to see if it shifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
