Used a 3lb ball-peen, pickle fork, penetrating spray and beat the funk out of it. if your talking shock end, took the bolt out and wedge a cold chisel and beat on mount.

Ok, After getting an alignment today and only the toe was off. I'll add my 2 cents to setting the bracket until you can get it align. On the frame where the bracket is, there is an angled part of the frame (edge of pocket) Take a tape measure and set it against the angle and measure from there...

Ok, I will try to pull it off tomorrow and see how many shims inside and reduce by 1. Any idea where I get the clutch only to buy.

What is the gap it is now? mine does not come on, everything else seems ok. but the gap seems like about 1mm only now.

Thanks for all the tips. Well, I finished the drivers side yesterday. Changed the struts (Monroe quick) top and bottom control arm (Mevotech Supreme), ball joint (Moogs). Sway links and outer tie rods were changed a few months ago. I also change the rear shocks to Monroe reflex (Had originals)...

I have the Mevotech LCA arriving tomorrow. Should have gone with Moog from Rock auto but for me they were shipping from 2 warehouses with a $68 extra cost so I went with Mevotech. Anyone else have good things to say about the Mevotech LCA's lol

Does anyone have a idea how much pressure were talking about ....I can get hydraulic lines to fit one end of a compression fitting and compress the one other to the line. Would that work, the line will be about rated1000psi

Another question...should I tightened the UCA/LCA bushing bolts during instal or should I wait until I put the wheel back on the ground or it doesn't matter. I'm thinking it may put more pressure on the rubber if the position it different from when on the ground

Thanks for all the info so far. What are you opinions about parts quality for Dorman, Moog or Mevotech for the lower control arms, the others parts look like they can be easily changed.

Will be doing complete UCA with bushings top ball joint, LCA complete with ball joint and bushings, struts complete assembly. Recently did outer tie rods and sway bars links. A video will be great(could not find any with LCA) but if anyone did theirs, please share tips or shortcuts or tricks. My...

Must have been grinning from ear to ear when it came out :biggrin:

Don't know the name but if theyre the little grey clips, you're supposed to raise them slide those off, they squeeze the plug and pull. Too much engineering in a plug.

Would it be possible to drill and tap a new hole in another spot for the sensor, maybe a shop can do that for you. (put it where you can change it easily lol)

Pry them out with a big screwdriver ot tap out with a hammer. It just fits in the there, the harware must be bent because you're now metal on metal

Until next April fools .......................
