The disassembly has begun
Going with poly in the lower control arm so I don't have to compress and press in the OE style.
Getting an axle remover from AutoZone to get the axle out for replacement. The outboard boot is very brittle and feels like it could crack at any time.
I broke my "Touch It Once" rule when I changed the rear air bag springs. Kick myself now because the tear out of the trunk in a real tedious PITA. So it's all getting done now! Even the 8 year old battery is coming out for a Duracell AGM H8 from Sam's club at $169.
I hope I can get that tool in there above the exhaust hangar. Dunno if my propane torch will be hot enough to bend that arm. Will find out.
