    Just an impact if you only use a drop. An impact and a torch if you use to much.

    Small torch does the job. I did this when changing the rod ends on my coilovers and it worked like a charm.

    What kit are you going with? 8" coilovers vary with kits. Camburg and Chaos use a short body 8" that is more like a 7". Even if they do work, rod ends are longer with coilovers used in those kits to clear cv's.

    One benefit of running standard 8s is the larger resi. They are 2x as big. More oil better? makes sense.

    Hey guys this hanger snapped off my exhaust leaving a hole in it, can it just be cleaned and re-welded or do I need new tubing?
