Hi everyone, can you help?

 

I was changing the front near side cone (by the radiator) and unfortunately forgot to check the alloy trumpet made a correct fit to the donut (rubber cone).

 

once I released the compression tool the cone twisted as the trumpet was at an angle. I now need to remove it all and tidy them up so they fit but am unable to get the compression tool to thread in to the donut as it sits at an angle so they fit but tool won’t thread in.

 

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

 

Any help appreciated.

One way is to remove the top arm. If you can, remove the Rebound Stop (that's the little square one on an L shaped bracket under the arm) first.

Unfortunately as the donut is still under pressure removing the top suspension arm is not possible as the donut needs to be compressed first and I am unable to do that, for the reasons stated.

There is some pressure on it but it can still be removed.

Have tried pry bars ?
