Khaos' RCSB Thread

Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Word, replacing mine too. I used the jack handle as a pry bar on the end of the wedge and get them hell :crazy:
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Lulz I'm taking my time.

Whole front is torn down. Took off the LCA's to drill out the rivets better, I may do that tomorrow before work. I still have to clean the frame and coat it.
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Nah not yet Tonneh. Didn't have time to work on it yesterday, I worked all day. And today I won't get anything done with work and family dinner. But tomorrow afternoon I will clean the front frame on both sides and coat it, press in new upper bjs, and hopefully reassemble everything.

Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

I have new bjs for both sides that I'm replacing. I thought about doing arms but decided againt it.

My dad brought the LCAs to his friends place to get the lower bjs out, so I'll hopefully have them back tomorrow. And then the shock extenders from Rey should be here Friday.

After the front is back together I'll drive it out and powerwash the back half of the frame and start on that.
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Today I didn't do shit. Doctor's earlier and work now...

Tomorrow I will get the front done, got the lca's back today.

Make sure you put the supplied grease on those bushings, i didn't and as soon as it wears through the powdercoat on the sway bar they squeak like a mofo!
