Trying to replace some front suspension parts on my 65 coupe. The rear lower bolt on the shock broke loose and just spins so I can’t get the nut off to remove. So I am not able to get the spring compressor in. I have the spindle loose and going to take it off.
I am replacing all the front suspension parts. Upper and lower a arms, ball joints, spring perch, shocks, springs and sway bar. Going to replace the steering components as well once I have the suspension done.
What are some alternatives to either compress the springs while the shock is still in so I can cut the shock bolt, or remove the upper arm safely/spring perch and then release spring tension once off?
Any help welcome.
