Default Upper Control Arm replacement bolt (( 07-15-23 ))

Quick Trip to Home Depot for some small hardware.



I have been dreading this project as my brain keeps telling me it's all going to go wrong. Honestly, All I need to do is replace
a bolt that is way to long. You can see I set the car up on the jack so I could take the weight off the suspension.



A little bit of cardboard to protect the paint.





I also supported the suspension to prevent movement.



This Bolt !!



Doing this by myself doesn't sound like a great idea and since I can't find my long extension I just stacked a bunch together.



I covered everything painted as I know the socket is going to fall of since I have to become a contortionist to complete this task.



Dear Lord that was awful.



Anti-Seize has to be the most loved and hated thing when you are working on a car.



Correct length bolt has been installed.
