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. |

Rusty, remember these are 30 year old cars that are rusted together. Try heat and tap the end of the bolts to free them up. Go slow, get the bolt to turn a tiny bit then hit it with more PB Blaster then turn it alittle more- slowly, Grasshopper.
Once the PB Blaster get in to the bolt it will free right up. I am still trying to teach my son these tricks besides snapping all the bolts and using easy outs. Geoff |
