Stop in for a cup of coffee

why? as long as the adjusters move, it's easy.

easy To do just have snap ringpieres!

my ring had wires sticking out. any pliers would work. Just use a sawzall ..ka pow! lol no don't

rings out, adjusters down, struts and lca pins loose. knock em back...

Every set I've ever tried to take out, I've gouged.

I think the reason he says that , is sometimes they can be stuck/rusted in the LCA or crossmember.....

Air hammer,blunt bit and drool water into where rust builds up.
Rust soaks up the water and the percussion breaks up the rust hydraulically...
Like a stuck ball mount in a trailer hitch.
Hot water is faster too.

There is actually a tool that clamps to the rod, you drive the tool with a BFH to knock em loose.. Never needed one myself. Mine always came out fairly easy.

I tried that tool on that 70 dart I had last year, busted it and gouged the bar.

Being a cheap ***, I drilled holes in a big piece of angle iron for 3 u-bolts. clamped it down and tapped the angle iron with a hammer.. Like butter!

I did the ones on my car with vice grips over copper sheet like a soft jaw vise. (I destroyed a pair of Chinese/flee market vice grips). The ones on the car I just stripped I loosened everything and tapped the lca's back. Everything just dropped out without ever grabbing the bar and chancing gouging.

Hey I never thought of that. The LCA needs to come out regardless so that may just work

Dang, real tomatoes. Enjoy every bite. Unlike store bought strawberries. White and hollow inside. Bogus.

We've gotten 2 big bowls full of June Berries. Man, do they have some good flavor.

 

[Ben Drinkin]

Don't let them squeeze the tometoes.

Squeezing tomatoes? I like squeezing tomatoes!

I'm thinking a little bit of rum and a blender and you're set!

I have never had an issue with torsion bar removal. Just loosen everything up and pry on the lower control arm to the rear.
