Re: Rear Coil Question

SUCCESS! Finally got both the bottom bolts all the way out. The driver side I was a little smarter and just ground the nut off leaving the bolt to swing a BFH at...she popped right out. The passenger side was a little tougher....soked with a bunch of penetraiting oil and heated it a few times, then finally drilled a hole in the top, got a punch in there and then went at it with the famed BFH! All in all it was a successful weekend, now just gotta wait till the new cups and bolts come in and install! Thanks again for all the help gents!

Re: Rear Coil Question

Allright! Just a suggestion, when I reassembled mine, I coated the entire length of the bolts with grease to, hopefully, make it easier to take apart next time.

Re: Rear Coil Question

Well I got the new springs and everything on last night....everything was looking good, until I lowered the driver side off the jack/jackstand and it kept going...and going. Well I think i got two different sized springs. I will swap them tonight just to ensure it isn't the frame or anything. The company is being really great about it though, as soon as I double check to ensure it isn't the frame they will shoot off a new spring to me. I just can't wait to drive her again!
