Another front suspension rebuild question. Instructions and guidance indicates that torquing of the shock lower fixing bolt should be done after the shock and mounting bracket assembly is fixed to the lower suspension arm. This seems impossible because the lower suspension arm encloses the bolt ends and there is no room to get a socket and torque wrench on it. Did others who have rebuilt torque the shock lower fixing bolt before installing the shock/bracket assembly, or is there something I am missing? By the way, the recalcitrant lower suspension arm bolt I mentioned in an earlier post still will not come out even with repeated applications of penetrating oil, hammering, and impact wrenching. I was told that using a hydraulic spreader might work, but, following advice from the board, I have arranged to borrow a Sawzall from a friend. Thanks, John.
