and so it begins...
got started on the Struts (got the back left one removed, and screwed into place.
having problems with the rear trailing arm coming off...
so i soaked it in PB blaster and will resume in the morning

I see you got it figured out
You'll have a much easier time breaking those bolts loose with the rest of the suspension hooked up to keep the ish from moving around on ya.

The reason is steel hardware threaded into aluminum. Should've pulled it before the lateral arms. I used a little heat.

Also since i need a final sign off update for the night.
1. Still awaiting my ZZP blackfriday order..
2. My car is getting repainted black by a guy i know that does classic car restorations
3. Hoping to have Engine build done by New years.

Well, for one thing I would of thought it would be easier to put the LCA on the car
then put the spindle on rather than trying to do it in the grass. Good luck with updates.
