Minus 12F this morning, otherwise I'd be out there swapping that control arm I've had waiting for 3 years in the box.
Just watching this guy answers a lot of questions how things are done or the possibility to get it done.
He has a mobile clutch service in the UK, drops the tranny by hand in the driveway, rain or snow, in and out in one day.

Amazing self control to sit with new parts for 3 years! :D When I get new parts in the mail it's all I can do to not drop what I'm doing and install them immediately! The motivation comes from knowing how much better it will be when they're out of the box and in the car. I recently put in new LCA's and had both sides done in about 3 hours with hand tools. It's a couple extra bolts to remove but I'd recommend removing the knuckle. This makes install much safer and easier, especially when you're working without a helper.
