[QUOTE="NJredfire03, post: 11916065, member: 117053"] Good luck man, I have been doing like an hour here and there. I also have been doing like nonchalant work. I'm not busting out these jobs as quick as I can. I got the two rear subframe bushings in and I removed the sway bar. Those oem endlinks gave me one hell of a time. Even using a vice grip to stop the bolt from spinning it still spun. I literally had to cut the end link in half with a sawsall. Then use a hammer to break the rod off of the ball joint inside. Then i was able to get a vice grip on the ball of the joint and remove the nut. Crazy. This job has become an almost overhaul of the rear of the car. I still have to do the front bushings( which these bushings are not easily coming out at all, even after drilling them and using a removal tool from MM), install the sway bar with the new MM adjustable links, The diff gasket(got the LL one), billetflow IRS brace, I also got FTBR's front and rear diff mount bushings, HR race springs, install the new Moroso wheel studs, and then the new brakes and new exhaust. Once I get that done the front should be easy. Just have the brakes and springs to do, Also putting on heavy duty front end links that came from eibach. I would go get a two inch wire wheel to put on a strong drill so you can clean out those bushing shells. So far thats been the easiest and pain free thing to do. takes not even a min to clean out the shells that way. Good luck on your build.
