Ganyon's 99 GS build thread

If you have a torch and pb blaster I don't see why not.

Why a torch??? And blaster what?!

 

[Ganyon]

I have neither.

As many threads as there have been about strut bolts being stuck? :lol:

Easiest way to get those bolts out since they have a strong tendency to seize up is to soak it in pb blaster for an hour or so and heat it up.

I didn't try heat but I soaked the hell out of mine with pblaster, used an impact and air gun..... ended up taking it to a shop to have bolts cut (I was done messing with it at this point and didn't have a sawzal), replaced both lca's and struts.

Oh shit I guess I got lucky

I broke bolts taking out the old exhaust though

Yeah invest in a can or two of pb blaster and soak them bolts good. Also have a torque wrench handy or a really strong friend...or a pipe for leverage. Best of luck on the install Ganyon!!!

 

[Ganyon]

Thanks. Also, if I were to get new lca's, what color should I get?

 

[R13]

Blue

 

[JustinMcGee1]

Purple

 

[R13]

I might just do the polished. No sense in spending extra money for a different color.

Don't use a torque wrench as a breaker bar.

Yeah don't do that lol. Those bolts will probably be seized. I had to cut mine with a dremel lol
