Re: Project: Easy Does It!

WOO, merry early christmas to me today!

The old lady asked if I wanted to go to Sears, and I knew what that meant! So, I got an air compressor, air chisel, impact gun, and air ratchet. SO AWESOME.

I spent most of the afternoon rearranging the garage since it is really starting to fill up now with tools and parts. But, we did give the impact gun a good workout. We got the rear shocks removed and the panhard bar removed. Those bolts were IN THERE! We were able to get one bolt out of the rear bumper mounts but the other three were not budging what so ever. So, need to go get some penetrating oil and soak em good. Oh, also the U bolts for the rear trailing arms. Those are on there pretty good too apparently.

So, after running a few more errands, I took the air chisel to the rivets holding the upper ball joints in place. It about wore me out, but I got all 8 rivets out! WOOHOO!!! FINALLY! Hopefully tomorrow night I can get those two a arms cleaned up and primed. I will be sure to get some pics tomorrow of the updates!
