Okay, I started on my body lift today... so far so bad, I sheered off the rear bolts that mount closest to the trunk, most likly due to weather, and the front one... like my friend said, monkeys cant climb on trees with arms like gorillas
Okay, then I got this other bolt thats giving me trouble, it is the closest one to the front on the passenger side... it turns and turns makes allot of noise, the bolt moves but no go on coming out, I beleive that the bolt has seized up on the nut, and is turning the entire thing around as one...
so here is my plan, drill out the front and back bolts then using a bolt extractor and some heat to make the bolt colapse. okay, maybe that will work... maybe not
then about the passenger side, I'm gonna cut the head off the bolt, then raise the body, then cut the rest of the bolt off and then drill what is remaining of the nut/bolt. then going to Rural King * dont ask its a Rural thing* and picking up some HUGE washers and then getting a longer bolt, then put the washers on then putting a bolt on.
with the passenger side bolt... its a pain, so if anyone has any other suggestions... PLEASE help, I hope I'm not the first one to break 3 1/2 bolts trying to do a lift on a 12 year old car...
wow, I wrote allot.
