Coat them in Duck oil and leave for a good few hours,they then should undo,the nuts may need a tap with a hammer and chisel just to get them started,just a tap though :wack:

if in doubt, give them a clout! :D

although, the tein C-spanners are good, cause you can put a 1/2" breaker bar on them to get more leverage... :)

dont forget to clean the threads all the way down the coilover, a wire brush and some wd40 does a good job of it
