never worked on a suby but I can lend a hand if youre local. fo free

slammedncrammed · 11-28-2010, 10:39 AM

I'm in northeast Philly. I'll DEF throw some cash. The 19mm was starting to strip I tried pb blaster and a breaker bar. Ehhh haha. Phone is a bit easier to contact thanks guys

ourbloodykisses · 11-28-2010, 12:07 PM

try a 3/4 maybe?

11secdsm · 11-28-2010, 12:18 PM

Are you using an impact gun? Best way to do it without stripping the bolt/nut.

slammedncrammed · 11-28-2010, 12:25 PM

Yea see I don't really have the right tools and confidence I guess haha. I would rather pay someone a little somthin just not the 250 they charge at a shop

LazyDuster · 11-28-2010, 01:32 PM

U can put up a pic of the problem ? To see if anyone could give u better suggestion

OutToWinPAHC · 11-28-2010, 01:44 PM

I'm also in NE, but I am sick as hell or I'd say buy a pizza and comeover.

slammedncrammed · 11-28-2010, 02:28 PM

When u get better u got urself a deal haha. Just the bolt is starting the get round but it's rusted on. Power tools might be needed

CrazylilPunk · 11-28-2010, 09:27 PM

i slammed my 03 wrx on coilovers, jersey car, with 110k on it with no powertools. I took my time and it took me like 3-4hrs because of rsuty ass bolts, you just gotta keep going and not give up. I too am in the northeast, I can try and give you a hand when you attempt it again.

OutToWinPAHC · 11-28-2010, 09:41 PM

Maybe tomorrow, I'm starting to feel better. Do you have a garage where your at? If so I have the tools.

slammedncrammed · 11-28-2010, 10:01 PM

I don't have an empty garage but I have a decent driveway we could do it at.. And crazylilpunk I'm just scared I'm gonna strip the bolt worse

jpalamar · 11-29-2010, 09:32 AM

Don't use a 12 point socket to break the bolts lose.

slammedncrammed · 11-29-2010, 10:06 AM

Thanks but I wasn't using a 12 pt. I'll pay someone 80 bucks if they can just knock it Out for me
