So since I got back from EDC Vegas and had a week left of my vacation, I decided it was time to tackle my rear toe alignment demons!!
Yup....that bish is stuck in there!! Not even a budge. Don't worry...I had 4 jack stands holding up the car

Next...used a Dremel to cut that part that holds the bearing

Now...the only thing left is the seized bearing on the bolt...gotta rip off that top sleeve

Okay...Cut off bushing outer sleeve and rubber, left the inner sleeve on, torched that bish, now I can loosen it... but it's that ******* inner sleeve that's seized! Time to cut that bitch off too!

There it is....finally off!

Went to the local ACE HARDWARE store and grabbed me some new automotive grade bolts/washers!

New Roca compensator arms and new bolts in!!! FINALLY!!

Oh...and while I was at it, I also swapped out the trailing arm bushing...cause this is what it looked like =/

Tomorrow....the other side!!!

I did my bushing not too long ago and they looked amazing compared to those.
I'm so glad it snows only a couple of times a year here.
