    tips for getting the UCA bolt out, go... tried bending the sheet metal, but there is a double stacked sheet metal layer that won't bend easily. Got everything apart - spindle disconnected from UCA, sway bar links, old coilover. That damn UCA bolt though... (my excuse for not going to C&C today)

    Still fighting this... suggestions to get the bolt back in reversed? Only goes so far then stops. Tried wiggling the uca while pushing/twisting. Cant really get a hammer behind it to hit it.

    Put the bolt back in the correct way. PM me where your number and I can walk you through it. And if it is too difficult, I can make a service call

    The side with the power steering reservoir has extra sheet as a base. It's a little more work, but is not too bad.

    I've never seen this many people out there before. Next one is the weekend before my wedding.

    So I want to do it up again. We need to rally the troops.
