lowering?

[ts_MKIII]

what a good way to loosen up the bolt on the supra to make it easier to install the coliovers/spring, cuz ive worked on 5 year old hondas and their bolts broke so i have no doubt in my mind that ours are gon break atleast 1 lol.

where are the bolts i need to take off and what should i use to lossen them,IE rust etc.

thanks in advance

wd-40 liquid wrench any other lubricant , a breaker bar is a smart idea,

what bolts are you breaking? the only one i had trouble with was the upper control arm bolt stripping on my 86.5' and i did not have that trouble with my 89' but i put new ones on anyway

unbolt the bolt on the lower part of the strut from the lower control arm(for the front struts unbolt the ABS sensor line from the shock tab)

might be a good idea to take off the upper control arm bolt, unbolt from top under hood / in back

unbolt top from strut and spring will pop off

make sure you torque everything right when putting it back on..... i know from experience honda owners do not know what a torque wrench is and their suspension is shit.

i did it last week, i didnt have any rust penetrant and not a single bolt gave me any trouble. Hondas suck.

I did it with ease, but my Supra rocks.

pb blaster is my new friend. I find it more helpful than wd-40. my .02c

Liquid Wrench (in the teal/blue can) also is teh shiz.
But, I use PB in my garage. Have had nothing but luck with it!
