rear control arm
Couple of questions regardng the removal of the rear control arm;
I have the nut off of the upper bolt and am trying to get the bolt out of the arm. Haynes says to drive it out, there is no room between it and the trnasmission to get anything in there to drive with. How else can I get this bolt out? What is the size of the toe & camber eccentric allen heads? As always, thanks for your replies. ------------------ Rob Fix '78 SC Targa |

Short of removing the engine/trans., perhaps you can cut the bolt as it comes out
with a small diameter cutoff wheel or equivalent. Let us know if this works as I've heard of this procedure only in passing. Pulling the engine doesn't take that long, but why do it if there's an easier way? Regards, Sherwood Lee http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars |

can't you get a plybar/screwdriver under the bolt head to pull it out? as it comes out, clamp small needlenose visegrips to the shaft of the bolt and pry against those.

Thanks JW, the BF screwdriver was effective. Only the drivers side ended up being difficult. The'll be in your hands by tuesday for some new bearings. Hopefully, I'll get some time between now and then to clean 'em up.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! |
