Help Bumper tuck fail.......help

Nothing wrong with tucking bumpers.

Sounds like they are rusted solid. Your best bet would be to get another set from the junk yard that are in better shape.

I'd be weary of using heat. Even if they are drilled, heat could make them explode.

Hi All, i have just tried to do the bumper tuck today. i did the whole 9 yards....pull shock out, drill/drain all shock fluid, but the shock doesn't compress....tried all methods there: using jack to push shock above towards the bottom of car; sit my car on the shock hoping to squeeze it down(i'm surprise this didn't do anything~!) ; hammered it many times.... note: my shocks are extremely rusty so i have already sprayed enough wd40 (like the bottom of a boat metal rusty). drove to a wall even........any experienced mechanic came across this? im trying to get some idea on fixing this. thanks

heat it up, put it in a vice, and slam it with the butt end of an ax.
that's what i would do.

if that doesn't work, it's not gonna work
