kenchan · 04-13-2012, 11:56 AM

so wat is the hardest part doing the Z's suspension install? removing the endlink bolt on the front?

i think ive read someone almost stripping the nut head or something trying to remove it.

Fixed

Hey Mr.Fire, I think it's because it wasn't garbage day in Mr.GaleForce area yesterday....

alcheng · 04-13-2012, 12:05 PM

For me it was getting the swifts to compress enough for me to get the strut top hat back on.

That doesn't work, they just keep taking... It's very one sided.

i see. you used a spring compressor for this step, right?

linear springs dont like to compress too much by hand.

onzedge · 04-13-2012, 12:22 PM

Spring compression is no problemo with this guy:

ZMan8 · 04-13-2012, 12:25 PM

^ that will do the job.

I have a hand held little one i got for cheap

kenchan · 04-13-2012, 12:27 PM

those wall mount compressors are super handy for sure. i almost bought one for my garage.

if my kids get into modding cars when they're older i guess i will get one. for the non-commercial use one it wasn't expensive. like $250-350 range. i was thinking of buying it and charging local buddes $50 each for doing their cars. in no time it'd be paid for.

Oh well, it's Friday Bishes!!

That'd be pretty smart, but I don't know know if it would pay for itself.. Aren't you like 007 super covert spy, and ultra guarded about where you live? I can imagine a huge door opening in the side of a mountain, and Ken-San's Z sliding out just in time for the door to slam shut again!

Fire · 04-13-2012, 12:35 PM

Off to get some sleep, will check back tonight.
