Project C4, 85 Corvette

Just freaking stiff :lol:

Tonight's update.

Got the other side off and started removing the upper ball joints and upper arm end bolts.

Cut the rivet head


Air hammer the now two pieces off


Air hammer the rivets down to allow next step


Air hammer the ball joint up and out then finish hammering rivets out


The threadlocker GM used is some heavy duty stuff, you have to melt it before hitting the nut with a 1/2" impact


So that's it for tonight. The next steps all require the use of a press, except the upper ball joint install.

And DO NOT open your detail cabinet when trying to get race car stuff done. Damn the temptation of pretty aluminum suspension parts that are clearly visible when your hood is up. These things clean up pretty well... (Before on the right of course)
