Potentially simple answer.
I tried changing my springs the other day due to the crystal clear advice of james walker
However, on removal of the lower nut, and the top nut, I couldn't for the ****ing life of me get the bottom of the suspension pillar out of the clamp. I'd used a chisel to try and release it a bit but it wasn't happening. I had a gap of about 1cm or so between the two rear sides of the clamp and it still wasn't budging. Even after hitting it a few times.
Is the bottom of the pillar flanged a bit? How much of a gap do I need at the back? Flange makes me laugh because it sounds like a cross between clunge and fanny.
Is there a tool for opening this up nice and easily? (no puns now please)
It's annoying because I think I can do the rest even though this is only my first proper mod.
Thanks for your help in advance guys.
