Yeah, the nut is on the outside, but I used an crescent wrench. The nut needs to be on the outside. On cars with a rear sway bar, the drop link connects to a ball on the end of that bolt. -L This post has been edited by Lawrence: Jul 2 2005, 02:24 PM |

I just reach into my toolbox and grab the right sized open end wrench......
Then I beat it with a hammer to loosen the bolt. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

yea, with my brilliant organization skillz and complete abundance of space in my 1 car apt. garage(can't open either door 100% without hitting a wall)... I couldn't find my big crecent, and it was faster to pull the rotor than look for it...
but at least I have an ASSLOAD of parts that are ready to be put on when the time come(seats, door panels, the engine and tranny are still out waiting on parts, an extra engine(1.8 that appears to have blown more oil than a hooker on the Exxon Valdez, that will be my practice rebuild), upper and lower dash, all 4 wheels... you get the picture, my garage is a fuckin' wreck! despite all that, it was an easy job! here lately it seems like I can't get anything done... I take 1 step forward, and find 2 other project that have to be done before I'm road worthy... it's good to say "weel, that's behind me" even if it was a small chore... thanks!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) thanks!! that's one of the things I need before the engine goes back in... the real hold out is dowel pins for the flywheel(from HPH) and the little t/o arm bushing(pelican) is what's keeping the engine and tranny out... I already have my new tranny mounts from paragon... once I get these parts, I can get the tranny and engine back together, and back into the car... after that I still need to find some sheet metal to weld up the rust spots and weld them in, then I can paint the floor pan, put the new cables and pedal assembly in, and then put the interior pieces in... which will free up a LOT if space... then I just need to do the front suspension(shocks, ball joints, and tie rods(which I guess I'll have to break down and have a shop do, so they can align them at the same time... |
