i know i need a compressor which i hav along with an airgun. anything else. you know what size socket fits the bolts? thanks

 

get a spare set of LCA bolts, snapped mine when taking my susp. apart...

 

Mostly 14, 17, and 19mm. Make sure you have a second car lined up just in case something goes wrong.

 

That's gonna take you awhile.

 

where do i get a spare set of LCA bolts, a hardware store? what do you mean have a second car lined up just in case

 

Air compressor and air tools can be REALLY helpful, but you'll also need a spring compressor (just in case that's not what you were referring to...) is disassemble the struts.

 

i found it easier to get the rear strut/spring assembly off after dropping the rear LCA, that way you don't have to compress it as much with those shitty spring compressors. just be careful of the ABS sensor line that runs along the LCA.

 

you will need a hammer

you will need a craftsman screwdriver with removable bit for a "chisel"

when you get to the rear springs you will find out what i mean

 

Start soaking everything in penetrating oil. Buy some bushings along with those bolts. Do a search on "control arms" and stuff to see what you have to do to older teg when the bolts seize.

Marty.

 

how hard do you have to torque the bolt holding down the whole strut assembly?
