CrowNaza86 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 What's everyone up to this weekend? Anyone going to stop by Cars and coffee tomorrow? I'll be stopping by around 830, then heading out to swap in my new brake pads...hopefully I can clean out my garage and make a bit more room so I can do the swap in there.

I feel bad cutting into my perfectly good front struts to install these koni's... 58k miles on these. 58k isn't a bad place to be cutting them open, they've had a good run at that mileage. Unless you're looking into limiting possible downtime, I say cut away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cone_Killer Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Agreed, 60K on struts is about all of their decent life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle humjaba Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well alright then, I guess I'll be cutting into them. I'm done collecting parts and ready to get everything installed... I have koni yellows, h&r sport springs, sti up pipe and cnt downpipe waiting in my room for a wrenching weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle humjaba Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well I got the fronts installed. Couldn't get the bolt holding the shock to the a-arm off on the rear PB blaster and an electric impact gun were of no help. I'll soak it in PB Friday night and try it again next Saturday.

SBT Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Heat - bring the heat. Apply liberal amounts of PBB - allow to soak, then use a plumbers propane torch to heat those bits. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying heat will loosen up and make things more manageable. It's sort of like warming up and stretching your muscles before a run or workout.

SBT Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 ^ must be why my run/workout is so sucky... Give me a call when you have a moment Rich - after tomorrow is fine . - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle humjaba Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah... I found a few records from New York in the paperwork that the PO gave me, which would explain why there's more rust underneath than I was expecting for a 7 year old car with only 58k miles, though it's been registered in Georgia its whole life. Now to find a propane torch.. Edited April 9, 2013 by uncle humjaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
