hey guys.................today i went to pick-a-part in kilsyth (vics should know where that is) to try and get a pair of sigma control arms and a pair of rear commo shocks for when i get my new rear springs..........

question 1: how do u remove the bolt at the top of the suspension strut...............its just one of those stupid bolts that spins for ages and doesnt undo or tighten..........usually theres a bolt on the other side that u had secure and then undo the nut but im stumped when it comes to shocks

question 2: i got one control arm out quite easily but the one on the left hand side of the car had some nuts that were impossible to undo. just wondering if there is any 'secret' techniques of loosening up the nut. i trying belting it with a hammer and drenching it with wd-40 but they were even budging.........i hope u guys can tell me coz its FKN frustrating

cheers
