Haha, I should post a pic of the bolt... I hear it at night, laughing at me from the garage... so I know it's still out there!

It took hours of my life away... time I can never get back.

I won't stop drilling until that bolt is just a sad little pile of metal shavings. I will then heat the pile over a burner until it's a pile of slag, which I will then pulverize again. I will then hike to the top of Long's Peak, and release one half of the shavings into the wind. I will then drive down to Colrado Springs, hike up Pike's Peak, and scatter the remnants. No little pinch bolt will haunt my days. I will wear a cross and repeat that prayer the priest in Emily Rose said to scare away the devil multiple times a day.

Humans>metal bolts, even if the bolt was forged in Satan's own hellish forge. I will triumph. F*CK you, Devil-bolt.

ORIGINAL: headshok2002

Spring compressors are easy as pie...

if you did the uppers, you can do suspension.

Getting the pinch bolt out of the knuckle that holds the uppers was like a 9.5 out of 10 for me... one had to get drilled out.

The rears take like 40 minutes a side (or they did for my coilovers).

The fronts took like an hour and a half a side maybe? Well, they took like 6 hours in reality, with the drilling and all the other BS cause of those devil bolts.
I second this, if you got the pinch bolt out you can definitely do springs and shocks. The pinch bolt for me was the longest part of the job, I had to heat the housing and beat the **** out of them to get them out. I ended up getting new bolts from Audi. So I to give you a 9.5.
