Right. where to start... bloke in the garage near me is re tapping the thread on one of my coilovers for tomorrow... so i built up the rears... spot on.... came to the other front coilover which is sound thread wise etc and im having issues...

i need a spanner for startes with an angle so i can tighten it up as i cnt find my 19mm spanner anywhere... but, if i do manage to get it tightened up it doesnt seem like there will be enough thread coming out of the top anyway... not sure if the strut tops are incorrect etc but ill let you look at the pics to see if everything seems ok...

bearing in its housing
Image

with this, it seems there are ridges where different shaped springs can fit i think... not sure if this is restricting the nut to go down further?
Image
Image

built up, if i push down and put all my weight on it there is hardly any thread coming out.
Image
Image

Image

just want them on lol :(

Don't you need to compress the springs down so you can get lots of thread?

You must be doing something wrong Ben.

When I refurbished my AVO's I had loads of thread

Image

Although, I had a small amount before I tightened it all up properly.

Image

You shouldn't need spring compressors, dont think I used any.

Just in case you need it, picture of mine stripped down:

Image

Assembly: Bottom adjustment collar > Spring > Top collar > Suspension cup > Little nut.

1. From what i can see from the pics, your putting it together in the wrong order?

- obviously start with the shock
- height adjuster on
- then spring.
- then spring mounting,
- then bearing,
- then top cup
- then bolt (make sure you use the thinner avo one)

from the pic it looks like you are trying to put bearing in before then spring mount?

2. You need one of these :

Image

I still had to grind a bit off mine to make it sit in properly.
