Hey guys, I'm fairly new to working on cars and I'm currently in the process of lowering my 2017 Civic Si on D2 lowering springs.
However, we were able to get all the bolts off for the front Suspension except for the long bolt that goes through the back of the strut. This is the bolt that everyone says strips really easily, shouldn't be impacted, and should go in and out like butter.
I've tried everything from WD-40 to a breaker bar which bent all kinds of ways trying to get this bolt off. I'm letting it sit over night with WD-40 for now, not sure if other people have had trouble getting this bolt out and what methods worked best. It's both sides of the car that this bolt is stuck on hard. Couldn't get either to budge even a little pit. I can take a picture of the bolt if it is unclear which one I'm referring to.
Thanks in advance!
