Default My ARP Hardware is Here !!!!! ( 01-5-22 )

I sincerely think ARP and Summit Racing are two of my favorite company's. I know I have spent a bunch with both of these company's over the years.



One would think with as much stainless steel hardware that I have installed that I would have remembered to put a little bit of anti-seize
on the bolt. Seriously all I was doing was just setting the nut on the bolt and I barely spun it on and it seize up.

Ugh !!!



If you followed this thread from the beginning you know this isn't the first time this has happened. So, I grabbed a larger
rachet and a much larger box end wrench and snapped the bolt.







I might as well install the arms since I have a couple hours before I call it a night.



and no more shims



I made sure to take a couple pictures of the shims that I used on the calipers.





I took the calipers off to reduce the weight of the spindle as I was trying to do this fast and easy.



Installed





Drivers side is on and it only took about 10 minutes.



For now I just stuck in two larger nuts as eventually I will be installing firewall strut braces.



When the arms were shipped the hardware kit didn't include washers which drives me nuts.

So I installed washers with the new hardware.





Once again these are the tools that came out to perform this job.



I am sure the box of Dots was from Halloween as they were a little hard but still good.
