for the back bolts, offset wrenches are the best! haha i think putting the sucker back on to align the rear bolts takes the longest =)

What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

oh i did. wed3k ones though. when he lit the whistling pete and stuff.. im guessing the hardest things are dealing w/ STUCK bolts or hard to torque areas.

im gonna attempt this when my brakes arrive, the hardest part for me will be getting the balljoints off, never done that before, only the UCA.

ive tried ball joint poppers and 2-3 jaw pullers but i couldnt get mine off.
so the above method that i listed was the only way, you just need to experiment and once you got it....it works pretty damn well.Comment

and then to get them back on ?? is it just an issue of jacking under the other part of the joint?

to get that back on, you just put the ball joint back into the hole and torque it to spec...it has the wight of the knuckle on the ball joint so it aint going to pop out.Originally posted by starchland
plus, you have the little clip that goes inside the hole...Comment

well i removed the steering knuckle/tie rod thingy off the wheel assambly but i DID NOT remove the balljoins. lol u don't need too
for the back bolts i needed only this.... at the time i didnt' have it. and keep in mind use a 11 spoke socket
