are installing LCA's hard

[87grandnat]

just curious if installing LCA's is hard, i just got some in and would like to install them myself, for the fact that i dont really have money to pay someone to do it right now.

thanks,
Joshua

do one at a time ,
biggest headache for me was the old swaybar bolts , even with impact tools and wd40 i had to grind one of the nuts off , the rest were apain but they broke free ,should have just cut them all and got new bolts
for the arms you need an 18mm socket and extension to reach thru frame for front bolts (i used a deep socket so that i wouldnt drop the bolt into the frame) and another wrench for the nut , axle end is much easier, I did mine with a 1/2 impact gun cant say how much fun it will be by hand with 3/8 drive tools , spray them first with a good penetrant

i think the end bolts call for 74 ft lbs of torque , you wont get that with a 3/8 drive
