Post Suspension can nuts
Hi guys,

Having real probs getting the suspension can off my chassis. Rear tie rod end is undone no probs but the trouble is the nut furthest from the can is loose and the one nearest is tight as. When I turn the nut with the spanner a the whole thing turns. I have tried tightening the front nut whilst trying to loosen the rear but getting no where.... Any suggestions?

Cheers mark

Aren't there any cutouts in the threaded bush? These you can use to put in a steel strip to prevent the bush from turning, while undoing the nut closest to the can.
WD 40, heat, hammering, etc. could also help to loosen things up.
