So i Just purchased these Ksports with 6k miles on them last week and went to install them today and the rears are seized. i broke loose the collars with my air hammer but the bottom tube will NOT break loose one bit. I have put it in the vice and everything. I even heated it up with a torch. May not be helping that it's an awkward position so I can't get my full strength into it. But If anyone has any suggestions I'm all for trying it. As we speak I am soaking them in pb blaster but not seeming to help much. Here are pics of seized area. Its the whole buttom tube to adjust the perch and not just lower the spring. Please [email protected]@!

Let it soak in PB blaster for a day. That should help

Same thing is happening to me with my fortune autos , apparently the bottom piece where you bolt it on to the rear spindle twists off so I soaked all in the tube with pb blaster hopefully that works!
