1. Is there an accurate/easy way to tighten down the ball joint nuts? It is hard to get a wrench on the nuts, let alone a torque wrench!
On the ball joint nuts, I've seen some guys use a crow's foot attached to a torque wrench to actually get it to the proper spec. However, I personally have always just tightened the balljoint down and lined up the castle nut with the cotter pin, and been good to go!
2. Is there a way to remove/install the coil over shock without disassembling the lower A-arm from the steering knuckle?
If you remove the preload on the spanner nut, you can pull the lower bolt out of the shock. You should be able to remove the coilover without much of a battle.
3. Is there a special tool to use to adjust the spring to set ride height?
Yes, there is. You should've received one with the coilovers. If you don't mind, PM me your name and order information and I'll get one sent right out to you!
Thanks!
