neil-

yep i guess i'll just need to get in there! my questioning regarding if it was with or without a bar came from some euro retailers showing "9200014" labeled product barless, and actually the history of the XC itself(was purchased privately from what turned out to be a hell of a POS seller.. thats another story..)

i'll let you know how this goes and appreciate your time-

so after running all over nh/ma yesterday junkyard searching for a 8626030 i bit the bullet and ordered new-

looking forward to getting it here!

today i'm beginning to think this is probably a platinum edition wagon.. and for how i stumbled upon it/how little i purchased it for i'm very excited-

having a hell of a time getting lower nut loose(the tops already out of mount) - ive hit it with pb blaster, propane, tried vice grips, tried giving myself a hernia, tried jostling it by raising/lowering with jack.. the nut is starting to round out..

any bright ideas?

Heat that nut cherry red, order a new one ( you can use a cheap one from Lowe’s until good one comes) and then get an impact on it.

If you don’t have that stuff, it’s time to buy a Dremel while you are buying that back up nut, and cut it off

Start in a flat and go in slowly. You will nick the threads a bit, not too worry, it will still work fine

Dremel off will take about 10 minutes max with the 1 inch reinforced discs.

Gloves and glasses mandatory. I wear a face mask because I hate metal pock marks

Dremel it partway then use a nut splitter if you can find one big enough, cheap tool works great I have used it on suspension bolts:
