what tool do you guys use to remove the ruca bolts?

[rb25crazy]

Hi guys,

what tool do you guys use to remove the ruca bolts?

I have an impact wrench but.... there is no way to fit it inbetween the bolts of the rucas. I was wondering what did you guys do to over come this, or what additional tools did you guys buy to do this?

if youre using the stock bolts with the big head on it

you need to make sure the grove in the bolt lines up with the spacer thats there

there is a tooth on the locking spacer and it wont let it come out if the slot on the bolt isnt lined up

try a 17mm socket to get the nut off the rear side of the subframe. When the nut is off (you need to hold the bolt head with a 19mm wrench), it will slide out the front side of the subframe.

here is the best picture i can find. you can see on the spacer/washer the locking tooth, and the slot on the bolt.

if the bolt was turned for camber adjustment without being loosened, the tooth on the washer can be caught on the bolt threads, and it will be stuck.

Wrenches and a pipe for leverage..

[laocivic]

wrenches..take the nut off first then push it out

I rounded mine off trying to remove it, but I was replacing both the bolt and the arm, so I just went at it with a hacksaw through the rubber bushing(wish I had a sawzall at that point).

^ dremel works just fine for stuff like that

cut through mine in like a minute and the one speed dremel was like 30 bucks at ace
