Let the Games Begin

Started last night. Yesterday I spent time getting the things I "needed" and "wanted" together to help make the project flow as smoothly as possible. I have also spent time reviewing the directions and watching peoples videos on Youtube. The Youtube videos inspired me to purchase an air compressor (Wanted) and also convinced me to go to Advanced Auto to rent both a Coil Spring Compressor and a Pitman Arm Puller (Needed). So far I have found my biggest adversary to be rusty nuts and bolts. I have been generous with the Liquid Wrench. I found that using the compressor with the impact wrench was helpful until the compressor kicked in and woke the entire family and potentially the neighbors as well, so it was back to hand tools. I am just waiting this morning for my daughter to wake up and then its full steam ahead. I expect to be done with the front end by this afternoon and have the whole thing completed by tomorrow evening. Wish me luck.

New England winters take a toll on the nuts and bolts of our vehicles. I have found that 70% of the work is removing the old parts and only 30% for installation of the new.

Try PB Blaster

Ed showed me a product called Aerokroil. I have used it a couple times now and things that I tried PB Blaster on with multiple applications over several days that didn't budge came free after one shot of Aerokroil. It's expensive, but it beat my PB blaster hands down
