[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1370364, member: 11896"] Holy hell those old stock suspension bolts were hell! Didn't matter how much penetrating oil or time with my impact they were not moving. I finally had to break out the torch and get them pretty darn hot before still needing to hit the wrench with a hammer to break them loose. They after all that the air bags were mounted with a bolt on top that I have no idea how they got access to tighten it down. Tried modifying some tools and still wasn't close to moving them so finally I had to drill a hole above them to get access. Thankfully they were not huge so it will not be a big deal to fill/cover them but just when I thought I was done with the hard part I spent 3 hours on that one bolt.... Thankfully once I had it figured out the 2nd bag only took an hour. After they were out I was able to get the paint on the inside of the fender wells as well as up under the gas tank since it is still out. I had the car undercoated when I did the sub-frame connectors but didn't have them drop the tank so now the entire bottom of the car has been coated and I did the front quarters as well so it should be good to go now. Can't wait to start putting it all back together now with new parts on the fresh paint and then move up to the front/K. I already have my friend on call to help with that one. [/QUOTE]
