So I work at a auto repair/wheel and tire shop here in sioux falls, and I pull my car in to install my skunk2 lowering springs, I get the front done easy enough, then I get to the back....and the frustration begins... now this is the second civic I've owned that has given me these problems, both the bolts in the bottom of the rear struts do not want to come out! Now after alot of pb blaster and major love from my heavy duty snap-on air impact, plus a big *** breaker bar, I managed to get one out. The other side...the head broke off the bolt. So I spent the majority of the rest of the hr I had at work, trying to weld on new bolt heads to extract it, didnt work. On top of that, when I try to remove my sway bar end links, they fall apart on me. So now on top of everything else, I had to order new end links. So here I sit, about to get a ride to work, and after letting the bolt soak more pb blaster overnight, gonna give the extraction one more shot, if that doesnt work, I'll have to order a new strut as well, because I'll have to cut the s.o.b. out!
I really really hate suspension work at this point in my life

 

I’ve never run into an issue. At 35 with many more responsibilities, I’m done “enjoying” working on my car, but I still enjoy the end result.
