So.......
JP came to my garage this weekend to:
1. Have me install the Delrin IRS Bushings that he had purchased from me earlier this year.
2. Upgrade to Cobra hubs and rotors F&R.
3. Install twin-piston PBR front calipers.
4. Install Stainless brake lines F&R.
5. Install Koni shocks in the rear.
A fairly straight forward list of tasks......and we got started @ 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. (FYI - The time on my camera was 12 hours off as I screwed up the AM/PM setting, so subtract 12 hours from the time stamps).
After removing the wheels and tires, the rear shocks, lowering the exhaust and removing the knuckles and half-shafts, we encountered PROBLEM #1.
The rear LCA nuts wouldn't come off!
Not using my 600 lb.ft. 1/2" IR 2131 Ultra Duty Air Gun with my 80 gallon IR 120 p.s.i. compressor.
Not using doubled combination wrenches.
Not after heating the nuts with a propane torch.
Not using a 5' long 1-1/2" black pipe for leverage on a 12" pipe wrench.
Driller finally had to use my air grinder to grind away the nuts! Luckily, he knew someone who has a stash of MN-12/FN-10 suspension bolts. :wink:
