Just changed out the rear shocks and coil springs in an HHR which is an identical process and had major trouble extracting the bottom bolt from one of the shocks. The bolt was rust-welded inside the shock's retaining cylinder (I didn't know that was a thing) and it took a combination of brawn, heat, PBB, patience, and cuss words to extract it. The angle-grinder lent a major assist, too. A good two hours of nonstop effort went into that job. Amazingly, the bolt itself is fine.

Great video! Very clear and direct instructions from beginning to end, and the visuals helped very much! I'm not much of a car guy but this video gave me confidence in fixing my car. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Did you guys pull this car out of a lake? The rust is insane! Great videos though as usual

You're a life saver 🙏a lot of what you did is very in depth and not needed unless you want the car to outlive your grandchildren but I like that everything was shown with care and specifics

[@yogilours6767]

Is it gaz or oil shock?

[@modquad18]

Like your style, but alignment after rear shock replacement?!? C’mon man.
