    No, thats japanese, as you can take apart a 85 corolla GTZ with 4 sockets, 10, 12, 15, 17 MM.

    Us Canadians use fractions and metric, not decimals.....or atleast i do

    How can you not picture what 1 of 2 halfs of a inch is? or 3 of 4 halfs of a inch is?

    What do you do when you cant fit a 10mm socket on a 3/8's bolt Beacuse it slips? slide on a 9mm socket with a hammer? or just twist the rachet sideways till it grabs enough?

    About... 3 days ago I developed an exhaust leak, damn near certain it's from the balljoint, so the springs are halfway on.

    And by halfway I mean the first one took 5 minutes and I'm going for round 2 on the second one once the engine cools a bit LOL

    One of the coolant hard lines (on the 3.1, anyway) is close to one of the flanges. I don't know if the 3x00's have one in the same spot, but here's a heads up just in case: make sure the flange is turned so that damn coolant line isn't in the way before you put the springs on. Although I'm probably the only one on here mechanically uninclined enough to 1) miss that, and 2) have the muscle mass of a slice of Wonderbread.

    No. Hazarded a guess that the ball joint went together tight enough that it should do.

    They are on now, though. I'm going to adjust them a bit more tomorrow.

    So how soon can I get a set of L-body coated and shipped.

    I can get a fair buck for my current S&S headers so $$ shipped to L8P 3N9, Hamilton Ontario.

    No BS!! I'll spend the money!

    In for a penny, in for a pound! (But then 99.99% of you will have no idea what that suggests!)
