Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a problem. I do not posses a breaker/cheater bar to remove the two large ass bolts that hold the strut tower to the lower assembly. Thus me installing the cobb springs I picked up from scoobaru is not going to be a reality today. I need to know what shop will have availibility early saturday morning to slap these bitches on. I also need to know how much you will charge me to do it. To determine if it is worth going out to buy a bitch bar. Please help as I am tired of not hitting my quota of 1 mod a month.
Buy the bar from Lowe's or Home Depot....... I needed it for my spring install......not fun at all, but better than paying shop/labor fees!
If you have extra pipe laying around, put it around a socket wrench and it'll make a decent breaker bar.
I wouldn't even consider paying a shop to do it... The 3 places I called all wanted well over $300, for something that it would take an experienced shop with a lift and power tools about 30 minutes... I did a friends set and my car twice and I suck at wrenching, so anyone can do it. Borrow a breaker bar or create your own as others have stated.
Breaker bars are quite cheap. I had more of a problem with the lack of power tools. Also get (borrow) a spring compressor. I "bought" mine from NAPA and returned it for the full amount a few days later.
springs I have a spring compressor, what do you mean a lack of power tools? I guess a set of air tools would make it easier but was there something I am missing, the install looks pretty simple, i even got the top bold out but the bottom one is a biotch
harbor freight has them for like $10, sears has a 1/2" for $20 or so. you'll need it in the future might as well get it now
