Well everyone, I have gotten the front struts and brakes done, only a few hiccups along the way. Was pretty easy actually! But the back has turned into a nightmare for me..
First, had an awful time removing the rear caliper mounting bolts, they were just rounding and I snapped the head off of one of them.. eventually just took pretty much everything apart to get it off and had to use a torch to get the bolt out.. its still in pieces as I moved onto other tasks and put this on the back burner. could not for the life of me seem to get the piston on the other brake to compress with the clamp I was using.. also had a difficult time attempting to assemble the retainers and pads into the.brake caliper.. just wound up getting frustrated and giving up on that too.. decided to just work on the struts.. trying to get the lca bushing bolt off I managed to snap another bolt head and completely ruin the bushing trying to extract that bolt from the lca.. so now my car sits until I find bolts for all the ones I broke and replacing the bushing on the lca.. ugh what a mess. I'm giving in for today and am going to just cut the yoke off the strut and pray for better luck on the other side whenever I find the time to work more.
Also, can anyone tell me if I can purchase just a bushing for my rear lca? Thanks everyone.
