so i wanted to loosin the locking collars on my coilovers to clean and lube all the thread out and make sure everything is tight. since its 42 degrees in jersey today. i did the passanger side no problem. i used the spanners and they broke apart from one another pretty easy. lubed cleaned put tire back on. went to driver side and i cant ge the 2 collars to budge for the life of me. i used lube a hammer and flathead. all i accomplished was chewing up the teeth on the collar. am i tighting the fuckin thing the whole time. if im looking directly at the threaded body am i spinning it to the rear of the car to loosin correct? shit wont budge
