Suggestion

I would suggest holding the big washer with the vise grips and use an open end wrench for the nut..?

Use open wrench if you're not fussed about torqueing

Suggestion

For the nut there is a proper socket for it (Schwaben 003046SCH01A-03) but as mentioned you can modify a socket or just use an open wrench if you're not fussed about torqueing to spec.

Though ideally you would use a pin wrench for holding the slotted washer while loosening the top nut.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Take it easy with the impact gun, use quick, brief "blips" of power to get the nut loose and not damage the wire.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Replacing with adjustable camber plates. But I can’t figure out how to remove the OEM camber plates…. Has pasm so it just spins the strut and won’t loose the top nut. Any tips, tricks? Thx!!

POST 3Original post

^ Yes. Though ideally you would use a pin wrench for holding the slotted washer while loosening the top nut.

POST 4Original post

If necessary, an easy tool to make with some off the shelf Depot hardware

POST 5Original post

An impact wrench will make quick work of that nut. Be sure to use a spring compressor, before removing the nut. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

POST 6Original post

+1 on the impact gun - I had this same issue when installing Bilstein damptronics on my PASM -equipped Cayman . You will have to drill an elongated hole in the impact socket that will allow the PASM wire through the slot and then you can begin to loosen the nut. Take it easy with the impact gun, use quick, brief "blips" of power to get the nut loose and not damage the wire.
