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 :(

Do you not use spring compressors then on these?
Author:  bensouthport [ Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:18 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
no, just wind the collar down and theres no compression then :)
Author:  elPaulio [ Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:35 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
Well wind it down then, looks like theres still a good inch to go or is that just the darkness of the photo?

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
True, however... this next picture is where the bearing is sitting at the bottom of the thread
Image

it has nowhere else to go! i will need more thread than that! maybe theres something in there i dont need? sooo lost

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
That's plenty of thread IIRC.

How much do you bloody want lol
Author:  bensouthport [ Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:46 am ]
Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
well i need the nut to go on that, then it needs to come through the strut and have a bigger one on!?

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
Don't you need to compress the springs down so you can get lots of thread?

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
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.

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
yeah exactly what im doing! ive wound the collar all the way to the bottom so theres no pressure of the spring. i need a spanner at an angle to be able to tighten the nut in the cup... thats where im stuck...

Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
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.

Author:  - Danny Boy - [ Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:37 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
No it doesnt sit like that, it sits how it is in the first picture
Author:  bensouthport [ Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:46 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: F'ing Coilies
hmm, wonder what cookie meant then... because the bearing is under that/on the cup... need that spanner anyway to be able to tighten it... going halfords in a min so will get one then, then try it tonight
