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. |

Oh for pity sake........you said the 'fire' word.
Now how am I supposed to enjoy 18 holes of golf this afternoon if I think Rusty is going to set himself on fire??? I'd already had to deal with the guilt of thinking of him toiling in the hot sun doing something with a crossmember while I was enjoying a cool refreshing adult beverage and enjoying the cool breeze of a golf cart. I suggested the other day that he change his hobby to 'RIDING in antique roadsters' rather than restoring antique roadsters. It just seems like a lot less work. -Pam aka NASCAR loving Toolwench |
