Trying to put in new PSS10 stuff tonight on the rear but the rear shock just won't play ball. I loosened the nuts at the top of the strut inside the car, un-bolted the bottom of the shock where it joins the wheel assembly but the pin holding it in is stuck half way through being pushed out , just won't budge.

Now the strut is in a position where probably can't push it back through either,

Any tips ?

Cheers

Use a jack under the wheel carrier to push is up and align the holes/bolt, this is what I did.

 

You do have a spring compressor on the springs? I hope so, you need one.

 

Yeah got a spring compressor, the damn thing nearly killed me getting the bolt out of that side, I'd say 2hrs on that side, 45 mins on the other.

PSS10's installed on the rear, will have to wait until tomorrow night to do the fronts.
