    I lowered the front, now i'm having trouble with the back

    For the back lowering springs installation, I cant get the bolt that is on the "outside" which is the one they say to remove the seats and you'll do that one later, and i cant even pull out the struts to get the springs off. please help!

    theres two nuts (on studs mounted on the strut) that unscrew form inside the car, they are a gold/brass collored nut. the other one (nut painted body color on the inside) is a silver colored bolt removed from outside, in the wheel well where the strut meets the body.

    yeah, i know where all the bolts are, but i cant actually get the silver one out so it prevents me from getting the strut out of the wheel well.

    ?? too tight?? mine came right out, didnt even use the big ratchet. you have both sides of the car up at once on jack stands, right? if you only do one side at a time maby theres some anti roll bar torque fighting you.
