AAHH, Adj. Camber Arms are stuck - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm trying to loosen the nuts (3 of them as you can see in the pic) on these camber arms so I can adjust them, but they're REALLY stuck

I was prying at them with a big wrench and wedged them in a cement pole so they wouldn't move but no luck

I have no vise and barely any tools... I was thinking about taking it to like a gas station or some shop in the morning and see if they could help, would that be my only option?

Um hopefully this is not what the problem is but one of the lock nuts is reverse threaded and also they all thread into each other so you could be tightening them instead of loosening them
