when they're on the car i needed to chap the c spanners with a hammer to get em to shift, maybe better leaving them til they're on then adjust them?

make the spanner urself, just file down a smaller one, should do the job.

You need to spray WD40 onto the threads or it aint going anyhwere... Then borrow a spanner :thumbs:

yes u need both front spanners or your in trouble.

he lives quite far from me now cheeky...

Cover the threads with a teflon lube like GT85 then get another spanner on loan.

Its 2 big nuts tightened against each other!

Why not borrow one of Adi's front spanners!

let the garage do it , they will have the tools re3quired and an air line which is the best avalible tool.

Waxoil all over the threads of the coilover bodies - looks like sticky snot but wipe it off 12 months later and looks brand new :)

i agree, get the garage to do them

also u are meant to keep them oiled or something so they dont cease

clamp them in a vice so they don't move.
or just let the garage do it when you take them in

due to get mine fitted again to the 1.8 SRi on tuesday however im having a bit of a problem,

I need to make the fronts higher, however i cant undo the fooking adjuster nuts which you tighten against each other,

Im not sure if its because its not fitted to the car, so i cant get a grip on it, but they are so tight,

AdiSRi and myself last adjusted it and i cant remember it being that tight :/

Another problem is that i only have on front C spanner, and one rear,

the rear C spanner isnt really big enough to untighten it and keeps slipping off :(
