Coilovers aren't bad, but that's a little more involved than the other items. Sways is a possibility. Easier on the rear because you don't have to deal with that cover on the front. Brake lines and brake bads shouldn't be too bad. I haven't done them, but it doesn't look too hard.

I am aiming for Sunday. The reason I want to start a list is to see who we can fit in. Things like coilovers or spring installs are a little more involved and does require a lot of time compared to other items. Coilovers are easy. Just grab a friend and you can do it in a few hours. Which coilovers did you get by the way?

10-4, or 10-5. Not sure. The thing is the sooner everyone arrives, the more people we'll get in.

I'm available on Sunday. I still have my front-passenger strut to install.

I have the basic (263 pc) Craftsman "Mechanics" tool set I can bring.
Other than the spring compressor, will I need anything else?
Of course, everyone's free to use the tools.

I think you'll be okay with what you have. I've never taken a strut assembly apart before. I've only taken it out and replaced it with coilovers. If it is the front passenger, it should be pretty easy. 3 bolts on top, 2 on the hub/strut. Those are torqued to 26 ft-lbs and 150 ft-lbs, respectively. A little PB Blaster and a breaker bar should be enough to get those guys out.

I have a breaker bar and one set of sockets. If someone has another one, that'd be cool. I also have a torque wrench that goes up to 250 ft-lbs, so that shouldn't be an issue.


Leo, will you be providing your services for Sunday. Leo (StupidDent) does headlight restorations, odor removal, and a few other services. Anyone that is interested should inquire about the service and pricing.
