Subject:      front shock replacement questions
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

My new Bilsteins arrived in the mail and I put the rear ones on last night
no problem. When I went to do the fronts I took that little boot of the nut
and tried to loosen it but it would twist the rod on the shock and I was
afraid to break it off and not be able to get it out so I left it alone.
Will this break if I turn it too hard? Or did I just not use enough torque?

Also in the box for the front springs there were no new rubber or washer
pieces. The Bentley shows a washer, a rubber washer, and a spacer sleeve.
Can I reuse these or do I need to order new ones to install with the shocks?

Thanks,
Nathan
