Well I tryed it. I put the good leg back in the tree to hold it and the bottom bolt just turned. It would not loosen. The damper rod is just turning with the bolt. I tryed on the first leg with all the guts in it also with the same results. I think I don't have any option then to bring it to the dealer for them to use their special tool to hold the damper rod from turning unless I/we think of something else.
