Read this and thought it was some incredible new Z mod before I backtracked and realized it is not, haha.

I put my Z on jackstands and removed the stock air intake system, cats and exhaust system. I was prepared for the Demon Bolt with WD-40 I sprayed on after I removed the air intake tubes and let it soak while I removed the stock exhaust. I bought a set of grip lock sockets and used an array of 1/2" extentions connected to a 1/2" - 3/4" adapter and 3/4" drive ratchet to make sure I wasn't lacking in torque to remove it. I beat the demon bolt, but seemed to have more trouble with the one below it.

that's a productive Z day for sure

daemon1957, I think a penetrating spray like PB Blaster would be alittle more effective then WD-40 IMO. How long did it take to get the bottom bolt out?

About 10 minutes after I figured out the correct combination of extention lengths, wobblers and universal joints to run down the left side. About 90 minutes all together. Tomorrow I tackle the crank pulley. I don't know for sure where to start, but this is a great way to get to know and learn the ins and outs of your car.

hope all is okay now.

my garage door spring is probably due for repairs in the coming years. while i didnt open the garage door much the first 10yrs of ownership since my dd's were parked outside, i think in the next 5yrs the spring will give away since im using the garage door every day since last June...

I replaced the spring on mine last summer. It took the spring replacer garage repair dude all of 10 minutes to do. He made it look so easy!

Garage Door springs is something I do not eff with!

I tried one once on my own. That was the day when I decided that some things are better left to the people who do them over and over again.

That's a sweet cap! Hmmmm, simple mods.... Ideas!

brucelidat · 01-11-2012, 10:06 PM

Maybe someone should start a simple mods thread. It'll help us getting our modding fix without blowing the bank for a FI kit, haha.
