      collar nut? What nut are you stuck on? There isn't an 1.5" nut on a BMW silly. Maybe the crank nut - besides that it's all 22mm or less IIRC? Axel nut? You need a proper mechanics tool kit.

            I did my front suspension yesterday, mine is a circle as well, I took my table vice off, And viced that shit on the circle and had my friend hold the strut tube and i just pushed one way and he pushed the other and it came lose. The threads were covered in dirt and shit so i had to clean it a bunch.

                    Where is the issue? Remove the strut and slide the nut off. replace with what ever chinesse thing you got from FPCSCROTUM on ebay. Done and done.

                      I cant get it off, I have got a big pipe wrench on it and and tried to just muscle it off

                      Tried hitting wrench with hammer

                      I have put some penetrating oil on it

                      I am turning the strut housing in the vice when I torque it, it wont budge. Going to try heat tomorrow

                        George, a little more reading will lead you to a better understanding what our young padawan is asking.

                        He's curious if there are other ways of getting the strut housing collar nut off.

                        Toes, if you have a table vice, go utilize it. And don't post until you've done is :)

                                The shock collar nut - it slides off - if not hit it like a 2$ hooker. Tap. tap. tap. Done. It's not rocket science. No?

                                (and I had to google "padawan" thank you very much)
