Hi guys,
I am about to change the rubber bushings for the strut bars.  The nut is
way too tight.
Is it originally installed with locktite that I should warm up first to
break?  The front nut has opened fine and came off OK, but the one
behind that has no pressure on would not budge.
Is there any special way to do this?
Zoltan
