Spinning strut piston?
Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:22 PM
Is it bad to spin the strut piston while trying to tighten down or removing the top nut? Will it damage the strut in anyway? I have tokico Dspecs and in the front I put too many washers in, and there is only abou 1 to 1.5 threads sticking out. I wanted to just take the nut off and remove a couple washers. I used loctite on it when I installed it- thats why I'm asking.

No need for lock tight. It is not bad the the strut to spin. I have done a couple set up and taken mine apart so many time even did it this weekend.
