onzedge · 06-15-2012, 12:13 AM

Good night everyone. I am Juking it down to Long Beach (420 miles) tomorrow at o'dark thirty with the Mrs. and our dogs. We are going to spend the weekend with Mom and Dad (while he still knows who we are). Not a nice way to go, that Alzheimer's.

With the proper tools, the "demon bolt" is not difficult at all.

Sweet ******* jesus.

All you need is (all in 1/2" drive...): a 3' long extension, a good breaker bar, a good 2-3' pole to put OVER the breaker bar to extend it, a good swivel, and a 6-point impact socket. I had Blades put his hand underneath the extension (so I didnt smush his plastic inside the engine bay), added the pole, pulled, and snap. Both broke with, really, minimal effort. Mine came out intact, even.

The mileage means nothing, it's all in how you approach them. Who cares if they break in the end, anyway? lol

Oh, I hope they didnt charge you obscene labor for that circus :-p

Here was my tool for when I did it in my own car:

****, I even did it with the the stock intakes in, still!

I haven't gone to sleep yet. Still wide awake. Just got back from a 4am car wash.

happytheman · 06-15-2012, 07:22 AM

You didn't use the pole brush that they supply (complete with the dirt of a thousand cars), did you?

Good morning all!

SPOHN · 06-15-2012, 08:24 AM

Removed side skirts, spring perches, and inner tie rod. Waiting on parts to get here to get this baby to the body shop.
