Default Make sure you measure and mark the old one tho as you want to get as close as possible when

putting the new one in.

Ok, so I just have to disconnect it removing that nut and it will pop down, then untwist it?

Default Well, yeah, but it'll get you close that way if you need to drive a distance or can't get it

done in a week you're not really f-ing things up.

Default True.

Did you have a chance to talk to the dealership down there about an alignment? Im fairly certain I can do the TREs myself, but if they can do the alignment much cheaper than $150 I may jest get it done when its down there.

Also, if you need to bring that car up to Reno sooner, I should be able to bring my car down no problem the weekend of the 17th as I have tickets to the NCAA and will be coming there anyways.

Default basically, but to pop it off (down) may not be so easy..sometimes they sieze in there..

what you might need is a pickel fork and a 3lb hammer, wedge the fork in there (flat side down) and smack the end of the fork a few times and eventually it will pop loose.

Default Where are my tix? Oh wait...Sebring is on that Sat. I'll be watching that since

I can't go this year. :-( I hope(better) have that car back to the other guy before that. He's getting antsy.
