Default Teraflex Question

Just about 70-percent done on installing my 4in teraflex lift with full flex arms but ran into an issue with 1in front coil spacers. I installed the teraflex upper front bumpstop extensions before remebering to install the coil spacers. Now i can't remove the upper bumpstops to install the spacers! Anyone have any input on what to do without damaging the bumpstop extensions?

a little heat should loosen it up. And a strong right hand.

Just grab ahold with both hands and work it back and forth till it pops out.

I was able to pull mine out by working it back and forth. Spray up in there with some WD40 to grease it up and pull hard it will not hurt it.

The divorcee sounds like a good option but wouldn't work out with the wifee.

I'll try the wd and try again.

Thanks guys!
