    Sometimes just the heat of cutting into the nut with Dremel will break it free. Do you care about the stud on the strut? If not, go to town.

    See now I like your ambition here's. Hoooooowever, that stud is the spacer stud to my front "leveling" block..... And therefore is a needed piece as I don't have another set of those. Hence the cold chisel method.

    But I decided to put some parts on after I cooled down a bit. It's not much but at least I got something done. Gonna have to figure out how to get the rears to work. IMG20240707220017.jpg IMG20240707215958.jpg IMG20240707215100.jpg

    Ice cube didn't voice any of the characters in the original teenage mutant Ninja turtles in the '80s and early '90s. Vanilla ice on the other hand in the movie didn't do too bad.

    Cut slits into socket, place on nut, weld nut to socket

    I mean, if you just gotta break it free. Maybe tacking a cheap wrench to it will do the job.
