Holy cow! The d/s bolt rusted to the sleeve-broke 2 sawzall blades, and bent one. I finally broke out the grinder and cut the head off the bolt and banged the hell out of it with a BMFH!
2 hours of waiting for penentrant to soak in,3 blades and it's finally out! The p/s came out no problemo!
Tomorrow the new ones go in and then my new gas tank,brake lines,and detailed rear diff(I hope).
Oh well, at least now I know I'm starting to make progress.
AAAAAHHHH, The joys of Mustangs!
