replacing the control arms/tierods/hubs

[turnofftheradio]

whew, lots of stuff to do. got one side apart(passenger) and was sooo easy. just wanted to rub it in. :)

I really thought this would be much more difficult. a little heat and an impact had everything removed in 45min.

and now, replaced in another 30. awesome. It really helps on the passanger side to drop the front exhaust. I'll get the drivers side tomorrow. Even painted the arms cosmoblau.

just tap the bolt...or slam it. It just takes some grunt. ;)

if your trying to save the rubber dust covers on the balljoints DO NOT use a balljoint seperator (or pickle fork lookin thing) those tear them fuckin things apart
