Not a nightmare (in my case at least), but a PITA. Maybe it's worse up North. A quick squirt (ok, 3 squirts) of PB Blaster and a few minutes later it broke loose. Good luck

Default Yep, like that. Granted, this may not apply to cars that don't see winter.....

But nobody around here will even try to fight with those ends......

However, my shop put plenty of anti-seize on the new assemblies, so next time, I can just do the ends. With any luck, these will last a while, though.......
