The torsion bar cover 4 were relatively easy. So were the camber and toe-in adjusters, and the shock bolts, and the sway bolts. It's the 2 m14x1.5 (?) bolts that actually mount the trailing arms into the pick-up points underneath the backseat, near the transmission.

I've attempted the impact method -- but I managed to sheer the socket off the bolt-head, because I couldn't figure out how to apply counter-torque in that tight location. When the breaker bar came off the bolt, I managed to push it straight into the torsion bar tube, which looks like it's been hit a couple of times before. (sigh)

You had to use PB to get the t-bars out? Crikey, that's rotten.

I'll keep working at it. BTW, on the off-chance that I have to remove these buggers with a dremel, does anyone happen to know the part number for these nuts and bolts? I may end up replacing them anyway, as they look like they've been abused even before I started. TNX,

Dan
