i dunno WTF, maybe my bolts are just siezed on there?

I'm stuck with my rear looking like this ATM

My question, is how the fuck does that knuckle come off??

Do the bolts turn, like are they threaded, or do they slip out? I smacked them a few times, nothing. I took a goddamn monkey wrench to them, wouldn't turn. WTF???

Looks like you took the spring out?

 

What you gotta do is pound out those bolts... they don't turn. Put the socket over the bolt head and use a small or an 8lb sledgehammer....

 

good luck....

Damn, you removed a bunch of stuff that was unnecessary! :shock: Well I guess what's done is done :) .

 

Check the FAQ section, Intlcutlass did a kick-ass writeup on removing the rear struts. I took his advice and kept the nuts on, then put a socket over the nuts (one at a time of course) and smacked the socket with a small sledge hammer. They popped right out.

 

Before you reinstall the splined bolts, be sure to coat them with anti-sieze so they'll pop right out the next time you change the struts...
