Where would one go to get coilovers rebuilt? My front left one needs an overhaul.

Yes to side question. Better off with putting an Allen head in and clamping it with a 2nd but split in half so it maintains the thread, and a fuckoff tight set if vice grips.

[(o)] if that makes sense and doesn't look like a disfigured labia instead ... :p

Haha, cheers I'll give that a go.

Hope you understand what I mean, essentially you would be gripping the shaft thread by the external surfaces through the nut cut in half, and using an appropriate allen key internally to prevent it crushing. Vice grips or a bench vice with a ring spanner on the captive nut and it should come part. Dont be adraid to use penetrating lubricant on the captive nut, and loctite on the split in half nut (and leave it 3-4 hours).
