Happy Easter everyone. I just put my new rims on and tried to adjust the height on my front suspension, but they appear stuck. I can loosen the hex but the collar won't move at all.

The tires rub so I need help real quick. Any advice will be greatly apreciated. Thanks in Advance

spray some WD-40 on there...it might bve stuck because of the dirt.

 

[jpprelude]

Thanks guys. My damn brother said don't mess with WD40. He doesn't know what he's talking about, but...

I'm sure it's dirty. I wonder if anywhere is open today for some wd40.

Lowes will be open all day today. Not sure if you have them in your area, but I do

 

[jpprelude]

Hell yeah. Thanks guys. Lowe's is the ****. Now I need to sneak out there in a few with my girl's car.

Happy Easter

it may take you a few hours just to find some wd-40, but yeah lowes rocks.

 

[jpprelude]

Thanks again man. you're quick as hell. I didn't think anyone would be here, considering it's Easter.

I can walk around Lowe's for hours, just looking for Projects.

wow, never heard of that happening. Even with all of the crap I drove through, I never had the perch get stuck.

I would try the WD40 trick too. Also, you could try tapping on the perch (after you have loosened the bolt) with something (small hammer, wrench, etc.).

Thanks Billy. I got one of the first sets of these things and I've heard of at least 4 or 5 people with the same problem.

Off to Lowe's after Easter Lunch

just wipe off the excess WD-40

Thanks guys, everything worked cool. I got it up raised enough, but need to fix it better when it's not raining.

Happy Easter.
