In the back, you likely tossed out the stock perch when you installed the coilovers.

In the front... I'm not sure what you mean. Are you trying to get the Koni out of the stock shell? Or are you trying to get the coilover sleeve off of the Koni?

Are there set screws on the sleeves holding them on? Those ghetto brands use all different methods of crap to try and keep them secured.

The perch comes off. Try shooting it up with some WD40 and letting it soak for a while. Then tap it upwards from the bottom with a hammer.

yeah the rear perch bangs off with a hammer.

The sleeve, probably needs some coercion as well.

coercion

n 1: the act of compelling by force of authority 2: using force to cause something; "though pressed into rugby under compulsion I began to enjoy the game"; "they didn`t have to use coercion" [syn: compulsion]


Or how about try coaxing instead of coercion.

?
