Huzzah! Victory at last!

I’ve been wanting to put our Sprite onto a small homemade rotisserie of sorts. However, In order to make that practical, I needed to take all of the suspension pieces off the car. The last time I wrote I was fighting with one of the trunion bolts(?) holding the left-side, lower arm onto the car and I couldn’t get the stubborn thing off. The Sprite’s been sitting neglected ever since.

On Saturday (about six months after my last struggle with the bolt) I picked up a cheap dent pulling hammer at KMS Tools. It had a little hook attachment that I could get behind an extension coming off the bolt. I took a heat gun to the rubber (I actually got it smoking) and slammed the bolt with the hammer. In under 20 minutes… wap… I got the bolt to pop out. Finally!

Now to start working on the rear suspension. Where’s my WD40?
