Default Need help lowering in NJ!!!

In case nobody's been following my dillema, the background's here:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...post1551011850

Basically I can't get the front lowering bolts to turn, and I've tried everything

Any fellow members care to take a trip out to lovely Long Valley, NJ to help out with a lil lowerin'?

I could provide beer, errr... thinking juice, if need be

if you were closer i'd be there now, w/ the car on jackstands set the jack w/ a 4x4 or similar piece of wood as far outboard as poss to take the downward force of the spring on the control arm, thus allowing you to turn the adjuster ccw(viewing from top)i'm jumping the gun here and not reading your link, if this doesn't help send me a pm--IF ANYONE IS IN CT AND NEEDS HELP LOWERING THE CAR SEND ME A PM, I'LL HELP YA

I see a run to the long valley brew pub coming....

Actually I have a packed schedule until Sunday (Mercedes Benz event tomorrow and then the Corvette Challenge on Saturday).

I might be able to help on Sunday. Let me know if you will be around.

yup the same one. I am not sure if it is worth it or not, but when I went to the BMW I got to beat a bunch of different BMWS for the day. Now that was fun....
