If the joint spins with the nut put the car back on the ground and try again.

Sounds like a wonderful idea. I think I will.

It is a bit easier to just put a floor jack under the ball joint and put some pressure on it.

so during this process my dad says "why dont i just order some struts off of sears and have them put the springs on while doing replacing your struts?" Me:"so i should buy 30$ monroe struts and replace the 150$ea bilstein HD's? that only have like 5k on them?"

He wants to chicken out and not take the tie rod off.

Its not a hard job if I was near by we would have been done long ago, giving up isn't a option

[Wschnitz]

Id love that help right now. The only reason he won't let me unhook the you're rod is getting an alignment..

[5Toes]

Well f you all, I can do things fine on my own

M50 intake off, valve cover off, parts cleaned, list oif parts to replace made, and everything bagged and labeled. I love this motor..

Cleaning parts and sandblasting my valve cover tomorrow with AAA325is :)

Why would you need an alignment

[Wschnitz]

Because the tie rod was unhooked from the strut, I don't think my father is thinking straight.

[Wschnitz]

Wow ok so he takes over and had no idea what he's doing and tells me to work on non existent homework... He's going to break something...

[Wschnitz]

Anyone live in shoreline?

[dashboardmonkey]

Wow, new level achieved.

On a better note, the e30 is washed, dried and ready to be flogged.
