Great video. Very well done and informative. God bless you guys.

My nut got stuck also. On the bottom of the bolt you can put a 10mm socket and use a 21mm wrench on the nut to get it the rest of the way off

I tried that first, but the ball joint stud rounded off. Had to get creative!

This just goes to show how hard things are. Someone will say a surgeon has a difficult job - you just watched a surgeon.

Nice video, thank you!

Great! But I believe you assembled the lower control arm bolt from the other direction from when taken apart. Does this matter? How long do you think this takes to the R & R?

[@minutemaintenance7385]

It's possible I did but it's orientation doesn't matter too much. It took me about 6 hours total for both fronts. It took a lot of time to put it at mid perch though because they were seized.

I am really wondering why they made it only one way to be installed. It makes it alot harder for me with new springs

[@minutemaintenance7385]

Yeah, it's a pain. But if you get the top bolts started, you can put a long bar through the lower mount hole and turn it to where you need it. Just make sure to turn it in a way that keeps the spring against the perches.
