Rear strut rod removal

[zblackbeast]

After fighting with the bolts for a few hours... I finally got them off.. Now how the **** does the struts rod come out of the spindle and or frame.. and how the **** do i get it back in?!!?

Use a pry bar and pry the rear spindle enough to remove the rod.

 

[zblackbeast]

Do i need to removed anything else?

What do i pry against tho?

 

[jmpSHO]

Only if you want to, if you can't pry the spindle enough you may have to remove the stabilizer link but I can't remember it's been a lont time since I did one.

Ok. thank you..

My passenger side i was able to pry. But after fighting for 45min on the driver side i just disconnected the control arms.

 

[zblackbeast]

That was fun! ... not

i ended up unbolting the lower sway bar nut and taking the lower bushing off.. i then pushed back on the knuckle until it came loose and just kept screwing with it till i wiggled it to the ground!!
