seized coilovers 306 hdi - sqweeky - 05-06-2012
I have a set of coilovers on my 306 ph2 and the driverside has seized ,

Any over ideas to free it up?

Ph2 HDI?
Also what part has seized? The adjusters? It doesn't really make much sence.

just gotta keep trying with the spray i guess. Not sure if you could try and wack it and shock it into moving? Or wether you could heat it up?

Hadn't thought of giving it a whack ,may try it if it stops raining 1day

I did mine today... Loads of spray, cleaned threads with wire brush. One was a little seized to FO Big screwgy and a hammer... Voilah! ;-)

Yeah, as above. Some penetration spray, then a tap/bash (select appropriately) with your implement of choice. Then go over all the threads with either copper crease or chain lube etc
