Removing S13 RLCA to spindle bolt ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi guys,

i finally finished installing my front arms correctly, and am now adapting the rear ones.

Everything was fine, until i went for the ball joint bolt, on the spindle, that connects to the RLCA ...

How i am even supposed to remove that one ?!?

I had to use a socket and a long breaker one on the front, with tons of WD40. But there is no room to put a socket on the rear one ...

Please tell me there is a way i did not see, and that i dont need to remove the shafts

Honestly removing the axles is the best way to go about doing it. Be really hard to break those bolts loose/getting the bolt on/off with the axles in the way. I mean Taking the axles off is a a decent mount more work but probably alot better then kicking/screaming trying to get those bolts off.

Ok then, will do ... i am really growing tired of having to dismantle half the car to get a bloody bolt every time. I really hope that is the last time ...

Well, remember to anti-seize because then it won't make the job as hard the next time if you have to do so.
