Air tank? Elaborate....

I can bring my air compressor from home. I have an air powered impact gun at work as well as a full Craftsman toolset that I can bring with me.

I'll also bring the buffer and compound if you want. You gotta buy me a new pad though :)

lol @ Abe... You know nothing of real shop tools, do you....

You dont need a spring compressor.

For the first strut I did, I compressed the stock spring a little before I removed the strut nut. For the second, I forgot to (heh, yup) and the strut mount/hat were only slightly launched. So I'd agree there.

But I definitely had to compress the H&R sports a bit in order to get the strut nut threaded. May not be a factor for H&R race springs, depends on overall length of springs to be installed.

Just did it. Those nuts can be a pain because they will just spin the shock shaft using a socket and ratchet.

Impact gun took it right off.

Stop at a gas station and have them loosened the day before.

Yeah, that's why I own a 10g compressor. I OWN. Not my dad. I don't refer them as "air tanks" lol

[Rosecitykid]

If you still need an impact gun I have a good gun with plenty of power. But! No ride at the moment!

Ah, yes.

Talk dirty to me and I'll let you and a few guys use my shop. Probably cut your install time in half, at least.

[John T]

Dont need to bring tools BTW

[CorvallisBMW]

I wouldn't mind meeting some of the new guys, sadly I have a a birthday party to attend (which I already know will be lame). fuxzors.

[Matt-B]

I would do unspeakable things for access to a shop! lol

[AbeSonic]

Austin is bringing a impact gun. And a buffer lol
No Matt, I didn't buy new shocks mounts. It all depends on how worn they are right? If they need replacing I'll go buy some. Wheres a good place where I can buy tie rods and control arms?
