A brief rant: from me, to me.

If you remove both sway bar bushings together, you’re a dumbass and now you can’t even get one bracket back on because the entire suspension has dropped back.

Moreover, with the sway bar unsecured up top, it’s now highly improbable to remove the nut on the tie rod because all of your force just leads to the sway bar bouncing up and down with each attempt to loosen said nut.

So now you, the fool, have a tie rod you can’t get off, and a sway bar bracket you can’t reattach without a second person pushing your suspension forward for you to line up those bolts.

Please, don’t quit your day job.

With love,

Me.

I have the same types of talks with myself. And I won’t be using my torch again anytime soon.

Ratchet straps are indispensable when it comes to moving parts around just a little.

For pushing I have had to utilize ratchet straps to help me when I’m wrenching solo.

I’m almost always wrenching solo.

D’oh!!!

It sucks when you make your life harder than it needs to be. That’s how we learn though!

Yep. That’s why it’s important to keep a fleet.

I really need to buy another car. My truck needs some work.
