You'll need 2 liters of brake fluid, A set of flare ended-wrenches, PB blaster, Vice Grips.

So what kind of fluid do you reccomend. I have some ATE super blue at the shop and that is what we use in our race cars. Also how hard do you think it is? Do these things ever freeze up at all such as the lower rear shock bolts.

ATE is good fluid.

Yes they freeze up and rust shut, and are often a b!tch to remove.

I just did mine a few months ago and I live in Wisconsin where Salt owns everything. . Mine came off pretty easy.. just use the right wrenches. flare end wrenches worked the best.

flare end wrenches are the *only* thing that will not round off the bolts.

Use flare wrenches not standard.

The $10 you spend on tools will be worth their weight in unstripped flare nuts.

I am pretty sure that we have flare wrenches at our shop, or at least I hope we do, we build race cars for a fricken living. But I am not the most technically savvy person since I work in sales.
