- Sat Mar 09, 2013 6:21 pm #328171 ok what sockets did you guys use to take the bolts off bc they look like they will all be the same size, and i know it will be bigger then a 16 bc thats the biggest metric tool i have well besides the 22 and 27 i have for the bike i had lol

- Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:24 pm #328180 19mm for sure and i think 17mm. i am not 100% sure on the 17mm but i will check it out for you in a few minutes. i have to bleed my brake so i will grab a wrench and check for you

- Sat Mar 09, 2013 9:24 pm #328190 sweet rusty but all the bolts are 17mm i have all them off except for the fucking cotter pin bolt im having a hard time breaking it, and i have the jack holding it up so it will be a little bit easier along with some PB Blaster to help and it still wont break

- Sat Mar 09, 2013 9:32 pm #328192 ahhh life of a halfway warm day in oklahoma lol


See all bolts are off


BUT having a hard time with the cotter pin bolt, and what sux is i dont have a cheater to help also as you can see i have is suspended to get some of the weight off of it

- Sat Mar 09, 2013 10:41 pm #328195 Is the nut and the post spinning or will it just not budge?

- Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:08 am #328199 it just wont budge at all, went to my grandpas work, and he gave me a 1/2 inch socket and i tried that with my 17mm and still wont work, so he is off tomorrow so he will bring home a cheater or well find one lol

- Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:21 am #328203 That thing shouldn't be that tight. Slip the handle for your jack over the ratchet and use that for leverage. Make sure all of that cotter pin is out. Looks like you are making good progress

- Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:21 am #328204 Make sure all of the cotter pin is out. I didnt notice a small piece broke off and thats how i messed my ball joints up. also hit the threads with a wire brush.

- Sun Mar 10, 2013 4:23 am #328219 cotter pin is all the way out, and i cant use my jack handle due to the little bar inside of it, that releases the air from the jack to lower the car

- Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:21 pm #328267 sweet guys thanks for the help its replaced and back on the ground all tightened up and ready for the drive to work tomorrow
