yes you will need it there.



And a tip for the compressor- dont use a extension cord and

find a outlet that has good juice going to it. They usually

work at first, then when it fills with air and stops it will pop the

breaker when it goes to start again.



Unless you have a gas compressor, I now have both for

doing mobile jobs on my own.

well, there was only one outlet in the carport, and it had one of those built-in breakers (you know, with the "reset" and "test" buttons), which didn't work worth crap. I had to run an extension cord inside the house. I didn't have any problems.





last night I finished the front left completely, which wasn't very difficult. Then I removed everything on the front right. 2 problems I had:



The castle nut for the, um, steering bar stud thing (yeah, you know what I mean) came off easily, but I couldn't get it to go on easily. I tried a bunch, until I pretty much just screwed it on, even though it showed resistance.



Problem 2: doing all the math to figure out my torque wrench is bad enough, but torquing 1,000 inch pounds is a pain in the ***.

Baldy

just remembered another problem I had.



the rubber seal thing on the ball joint stud is ripped open. how difficult to replace?

Baldy

evidently not difficult at all!





should I make a write up when I'm done? (with the whole thing, not the seal)

sure, I don't think there is one in FAQ's.

Another tip with air tools and impact tools. DO NOT use them on bolts/screws that are going into aluminum.

Baldy

so far, I've only been using it for loosening. It's made things a real snap.



I have yet to move on to the rear end, busy weekend with brother graduating, moving out inlaws, and mother's day.
