  1. Got it loose enough to release tension. The two nuts are still stuck together. Does the bolt on the anchor arm come out? I wanted to replace all the hardware. I still need to remove torque arm and the spring.
  2. The upper bushings only look good from the outside. When you look at them inside the mounting bracket they are in need of being replaced. Pretty sure this thing has never had any service and since I’m taking it all apart I’m gonna change everything.
  3. Yup it’s like the lock and adjust nuts mutated into one ha. I put heat on it today, just gotta be more patient I guess. I just got the fittings for my air gun so I guess I will try with that. I’m not gonna risk jacking up the arm. Just gonna follow the manual. Thanks for all the replies!
  4. The nuts for the torsion bar spring are rusted pretty good. If I need to can I jack up the lower arm and disassemble everything?
  5. Thanks! I removed the upper ball joint and the upper arm bushing bolts. Before I go any further I need to ask about Camber adjusting shims. Not sure where they are or what they do. The manual says to record the thickness and position of them. Please help.
  6. Should I service the torsion bar spring? It’s the step after removing the ball joints in the fsm. I’m pretty much following the manual and replacing everything.
  7. The gallon of brake parts cleaner is sorta pricey, do I have to buy the safety solvent? What exactly does safety solvent do? Also, these rotors are on rock auto for $18.30. Should I even bother with turning the rotors?
  8. I trust my skill levels if I have the right tools and information. I have never rebuilt calipers or turned rotors. I have the fsm and have seen how to change the bearings. Keeping as many stock parts as possible would be cool, but at what cost? I do like to learn new skills, but I do want the job done correctly and in a somewhat timely manner. I need a bucket of brake cleaner? haha! where do I get that from?
  9. Thanks for the inspiration. I welcome all input and opinions. Please do not hesitate to post what you think, it’s impossible to offend me, but will always cause me to over think. What size breaker bar should I purchase?
  10. I wanted an impact wrench so I wouldn’t have to struggle with the rusty bolts. I didn’t want to be in a situation where I couldn’t remove a part. Now I’m questioning if I should even start this project.
