Okay so today i tried to install some s-techs on my tc. However it seems everything is going wrong. First we could get the wheels on because the lug nuts were rusted on. then once we got that up we couldnt get the sway bar link bolt off, ended up going to buy an impact wrench to get those off. but then when we tried to get the 22mm bolts that hold the spindle to the strut, the just wouldnt give. Even with an impact wrench, we couldnt get them lose at all. Is there a trick to getting these off? or are mine just so rusted on that its impossible and ill have to end up taking it somewhere for them to cut it off?

 

you are impacting the side with the nuts right and not the bolt heads on the fronts right? that might be ur problem.

 

Exactly^^^

 

The way I got those off was I found the longest pipe I could and put it on my wrench and gave it hell.

 

bolt side isn't 22mm so he was doing it right...your air tools are powerful enough, get a breaker bar.

 

^^^ they were on mine (09) and I just did it today :?

 

okay well we were working on the nut side, and not the bolt. so we were doing it right. but it just wouldnt budge. we eventually got it loose after about 3 hours of work. the bolts were so corroded and rusted on. but now on to the back..and its a pain in the ___ as well. it wont budge either and there really isnt enough room to get the impact wrench back there.

 

I had the same problems when I did my coils. Bolts were rusted so bad. Just had to put a little muscle into it and they'll come off.
