and start soaking the bolts wtih PB blater now. and then everytime you go outside and then when you think about it nad before you go to bed adn again in the middle of the night. Then do it all again the next day and the day after until you actually start the install :rockon

the vehicle and the soaking are great suggestions ... LISTEN TO THEM :thumbup


be sure you have beer and alot of patience ... especially if there is any rust ... take your time and do it right :beer

Air chisel for those fawking rivets

I think we are going to blue wrench them off for mine.

If you are installing extended radius arms you best have a big coresent, 1 1/8" wrench or very deep 1 1/8" socket. The stud that holds the bottom spring cups and radius arms are on there tight as tight can be. It took me and a buddy pushing and pulling to break them loose. Soak, soak, and more soak it and then hit that nut with a BP hammer.

soak everything in WD-40 then light it on fire. it's cool looking. avoid your gas tank though.

easy way to get those big bolts on the radius arms: 1 1/8" combo wrench with a piece of pipe on the end. tons of leverage.

I welded a 1' piece of 1/2 inch boxed steel to the end of a 3' piece. Looks like a big T. slip the long open end over your ratchet, and act like a lumberjack. You can even get crossthreaded bolts off with ease.
