Originally posted by The MarkO Guy: Took me an afternoon to do it last summer. Not technically difficult, just a major PITA.
The nuts get seized up so much with road muck that they are hard to release. I suggest saoking them in PB blaster or something stronger the night before.
The grommet that sits in the lower arm is a pita to get out and even more difficult to get in.
PM or email me, marko@neceg.org if you have any more q's. I think I posted something more detailed last year in the problems section as a reply to someone. I will try to find it.
Good luck. MarkO...do you remember the size of the nut inside the lower control arm? Is it 14mm like the one that connects to the sway bar? I need to get a deep socket to fit in there and would prefer not to have to buy a whole set just for one socket. Thanx!
