GEN 2 Hellwig Pro Series Helper Springs Install

[Waylon The Raptor]

What is this and how do I remove it from my 2019? It has to come off IOT install the helpers. Appreciate it.

That rubber roller should be able to be just cut off with a razor blade. If you have to remove the bolt that runs through it, you can likely unthread it from the otherside unless its riveted.

Thanks, Dudebrodude. Unfortunately, the rubber bumper(?) has to come out. It interferes with the two leaf's that are added to the stack. The fastener is a 5mm hex (see pic). I almost stripped the hole with an Allen, so I backed off. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a technique, or magic postion (WD-40).

Spray some penetrating lube and let it sit for as long as you can. Worst case, you may have to apply some heat before it'll break lose

I remember that allen bolt being insanely tight also, you wont be reusing it so you could always run a sawzall or grinder in there and cut the bolt. Or, take a grinder and cut off both sides just above the rubber sleeve.

Good luck!
