removing struts : removing top nut at steering knuckle
dove into removing struts today (happy spring everyone!)
ran into big confusion. I think I can get the lower nut/bolt off, but not the top. There is about 1 inch of room above the nut. The brake caliper is an obstruction. This is an '87 NA not M030 or any type of suspension like that. I'm using the Harbor Fright impact sockets and combinations with extension bars, plus added standard sockets, etc. The impact driver can reach the hex head of the bolt on the forward side of the knuckle, however, it doesn't budge. Kano Kroil has been applied. I haven't tried using a 3/8" driver with a breaker bar - maybe later.
I can't recall how I got the brake caliper off before. I thought I used a breaker but now it seems the tools I have arent' getting in there - perhaps the car needs to go up a few more inches.
