If cones are stuffed you can just pull the top arms out. Worked for Gafmo- just as well, the cones had no threads left in 'em! Only rust.. :shock:

<edit> of course you do have to undo and remove the rebound rubbers, and the pivot shafts! :lol: 8)

my front subframe is completely stripped - except for the cones and trumpets. they just flap around in the strut towers and dont fall out. i cant even separate the trumpets from the cones. i've tried prying with big flat screwdrivers, but nothing works!

If all else fails, cut the trumpets, or the cones.. :lol:
They do come off eventually, once you use the right incantation and have enough beer.. :wink:
