Luckily I am that big guy that people get to break bolts loose lol. Mine aren't necessarily bad but I can see the bushings getting kinda rough looking. Plus the car has 134k on it so the bushings plus the ball joints have got to be either worn out or right on the verge of it. Someone mentioned using heat, which I don't a torch laying around, but I did figure it would probably help to put penetrating oil on them for a few days before I go to break them loose. I'd be pissed if I pulled everything else loose just to find that I could get the mounting bolts off.
And are the sizes correct as far as everyone knows? I know I've got the 21 mm and I think the big torx. I've got to get an 18mm cause I think I lost it somewhere. Is there enough clearance to put a deep well socket on the nut or do I need a wrench there? It looks like I would have the clearance but I figure someone who has done it would know more than me on the clearance.
