My Tokico Blue Install...

So i'm installing my rear tokico blues. I get the right one on just fine. I start working on the left one and the bolt holding the bottom of the shock on is stuck. I push/pull/pry/hammer/grease/heat this bolt for an hour and a half and still it won't move. So my neighbor comes over and he's playing with it and we find out that the bolt is seized inside the metal bushing. The bolt moves, but only as far as the rubber lets it and then bounces back. It's so ****ing dumb! So i'm just taking it to his shop tomorrow and having him cut the damn thing off. I'll also be paying him to put the front struts on since I have had enough of a headache today.

did you have to do the whole drill thing to make them fit , since you have an 03, and they are made for an 01-02?

when all else fails, get the attitude adjuster out. (the breaker bar)

I actually did try that. But the rubber was too elastic and so it merely "bounced". Plus there wasn't much room to move the thing.
