Hey guys,
Is it just me or does everyone else just kinda of "create" projects? I finally have the car running fairly well then I found a box of suspension parts I ordered for my 62 Sprite when I was going to rebuild it 5+ years ago. Well, I hadn't really done anything to my 68 I'm doing now, so I figured ehhh, why not use all of the bushings, bolts, tie-rod ends that I bought new for the 62 and put them on the 68 assuming the parts are the same. Well, the parts are the same so I started taking apart the 68 front suspension. WHAT A PITA! Is there any trick to getting off the A-Arm bolts? I got the nuts off, but the bolts wont budge. I'd like to put in new bushings and paint everything real purrrty, but not sure if I want to cut that puppy off. For now, I PB Blastered the heck out of it and will wait until tomorrow!
Suggestions are welcome....good ones may get rewarded. I don't know how yet, but I may just reassure you..."you are the man".
Thanks much and I think I sniffed too much brakleen today
