This job gets worse and worse. I think disassembling with a sawzall would be easier.
- I broke the two hard brake lines on the left side. - I broke the tie rod end on the left side. - Steel sleeve on the drop link bushing was frozen to the thru-bolt. I broke the U-tab on the A-arm trying to free it up. All the sway bar bolts on the left side are frozen solid. - I tore the ball joint boot, and dented the metal beneath. The strut still doesn't want to come off. I may go rent a pickle tool. - Somehow, I tore the front wheel bearing seal. I'm barely into the right side, and it's 86 degrees, no shade. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's a chilly 97F here right now too. Sorry about your hammer, etc. Some days you have to just take a break and clear you head 'cuz the harder you persist the worse it gets until you've cleared your mind and let the bolts soak overnight. It's like lifting weights - You get too frustrated and tired, then you start losing form and before you know it you start doing more damage than good. -Ben M. |
