Sweet! It shal be done by myself most likely. I'm going to have to get my friend to bring my jack stands tomorrow to his work and pick them up from him. He's got both sets of mine because he has a garage.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Gotcha! The LCA bolts are in there gut-n-tight so grab a snickers!

You will have to jack the pumpkin up once the car is on stands to relieve the suspension on the LCA's.

Where is the bumper at?

 

[jodadejss06gt]

its at the shop jpc uses auto body plus on crain hwy glen burnie, my boy said he can do it though. So are you off tomorrow too?

 

[jeostang]

No, I have to work. Heading to the track when I get home.

It is helpful to have another set of hands for the LCA's; I did mine by myself and it can be done but if you can get someone else to help it makes it easier.

Yea it was easier to have someone man the jack for me while I aligned the LCA up with the mounting holes.
I remember doing the UCA too, I dont ever want to do that POS again, talk about tight spaces

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Jeremy and I did the UCA and it was tight; we lowered the gas tank to access the bolt which made it a lot easier!

doesnt look good on the K-member. Camry got a new starter and timing belt kit. Good for another 90k!! Hauling GIANTS for 7 hours is hard on a vehicle!!!

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Rick doing it?

I hate it when maintenance throws you off of the mod track

 

[Greg Hazlett]

You jinxed it as you talked about the timing belt on the way to MIR.

What happened with Dave?

no kidding.

What happened with Dave?

probably true. starter went, so while it was there might as well do the timing belt, water pump, idler pulley's, tensioner etc... Wife headed to Asheville this weekend so its gotta be ready to roll...

Dave, I dont know. He called me back but I couldnt talk

 

[Greg Hazlett]

How bad was that bill?

Since it was the wife's car tell her Happy Anniversary! The new parts can be the shinny stuff she wanted!
