LowerclassLupo Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 My rings are seized on my coilover and I'm going to cut them and replace them. What size would I need, they're fks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Measurement is probably diameter of the threaded part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I tried to get some replacement rings for some FK's, think they were silverlines with a sticker saying 'FKG1', even mailed them direct and they told me they didn't make them anymore and didn't have any replacement parts available.I tried soaking my coilies in a mixture of petrol and used engine oil over a weekend and it made no difference, they were stuck solid, so I ended-up with new coilovers....

Sausage Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Soak, heat, shock, ....rinse and repeat.Soak it, leave it, soak it again, heat it until the fluid boils, soak it some more, heat it some more. Shock it with hammer taps (mind the threads LOL) and then whacking it round with a blunt chisel. Blunt chisel otherwise you cut lumps of metal off.An SDS hammer drill with a blunt chisel would be next on the list.A pair of large stilsons are quite handy too.Oh yeah, mind the threads.... and dont go too mad with the heat on shock absorbers.yep petrol / old engine oil mix makes cheap fluid if you dont have any.

Dblock Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'd use a proper penetration fluid like ferrosol or plus gas. Acetone and auto gearbox oil works a treat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
