its the ppl from the midwest and east coast that have corrosion issues with siezed bolts. you should be fine. just use 1/2" sockets and a breaker bar handy. 14mm. $180 for labor? no way...

Shiiit ill do it for $150 Just playing...just bust it yourself, its easy as ****. And about breaking bolts, when i was installing the rear shocks on my old sol, both the bolts on boths sides fused together and broke off when i hit them w/ the air gun. After the fact, i later found out on my carfax that my sol came over from a state where in snowed on the eastcoast...people salt the roads in these areas and that causes bolts to weld together.
