Awww, this sux. So i got the tie rod off the strut no problem, put the spring on but no I cannot replace the upper of the two large bolts back in to connect the strut and brake set up. The brake just sits at a 45 degree angle and wont budge. Have tried everything i and three other people could think of an im very frustrated...anyone?

 

i think your axle popped out. try popping it back in.

 

Yeah thats what someone just suggested on another site too. So my driveshaft has come out and there are three bearings that need to line up? I will have to wait for sunup to check it out though. Can I peel back the rubber boot or is it better to line them up by touch? Thanx!

i just messed around with it and it popped back in. if the other site you were talking about was ephatch.com, do a search in the suspension section. i think someone drew a diagram.

POST PICS WHEN DONE.....

can i see your pics, if you have any?

 

Yeah I just played with it a bit, turned it counter clock wise then back a little and it slid right in. So I finished the front tonight and will get on the rear tomorrow. I couldnt believe how easy it was

But thanx all for your help, it's much appreciated

dave. i'll take pics for you tomorrow

 

if you have to do the fronts again,( which you probably will) use a seperate jack for the brake rotor. by raising it it's easier to line up. once you have the at least one of the holes semi-lined up you can use a screw driver and put it into the hole before the bolt in order to line it up. (it helps with leverage) hope this makes sense. now time for the
