@@BigDog50001 The lower rear shock bolts are the devil. A big Milwaukee Fuel high-torque 1,400ft/lb impact wrench only would spin the rubber inside the outer bushing with the bolt, and that pries open the mounting point. I was going to just start unbolting things back there to use my nice cutoff tool, but was afraid that i would have to end up cutting something else before the parts for the rear (upper control arms, toe adjustment bolts, etc.) started being delivered 3-4 days after this event. Ended up grabbing my neighbor's beefy oxy/acetylene cutting torch. I got a ton of old rags, probably 30 of them, soaked them in water, and wrapped up everything else tightly. I had my buddy keeping things while the torch did the work. I first cut through and across the outside round part of the shocks that retain the bushing and yanked the ancient shocks off. I then took a compact sawzall and removed the rubber component of the bushing to yield the stupid jerk of an inner bushing that was locked into a love affair with the bolt. I had to literally heat those up to about as hot as I could without starting to cut again before i shut off the torch and held a set of large vice grips on the inner bushing piece and had my buddy with a long breaker bar and a 14mm socket crank with all his might... until the first side and then the second were clear of the old hardware, and my garage floor and own self were covered in rust and soot and all the nasty stuff that burned off. Our masks were a testament to how important those were that day... New shocks were installed in about 4 minutes a piece. The 4 front lower strut bolts loosened with nothing more than an 18" breaker bar and 19mm/17mm sockets on the nut and bolt in that order. Front strut/coil spring assemblies by Gabriel had a slightly larger diameter bolt on the top ends that terminate in the strut towers, and I had to drill them out by 1/16", but still had both sides done in maybe a half hour. Can't beat the convenience of not having to use a janky spring compressor, and replacing all four corners at once, as well as on the front: lower control arms, ball joints, end links, inner/outer tie rod ends. On the rear: lower and upper control arms, complete drum brake swap with backing plates, and hub bearings. Wanted to note that this pretty large list of part swaps was the first time I have ever done this type of repair. Have been doing my front pads/rotors, oil changes, an exhaust twice, and some odds and ends on the intake and throttle body were it. The wheel bearings were done last unfortunately... I was told the noise on the highway was the drum brakes even though it didn't cease with the activation of the brake system... Those rear brakes were original to the car @275k miles, so it needed done anyway. The new ones are coated to reduce rust. Since everything felt way better but i was still having noise, vibration, and a not awesome feeling from that part of the car, decided to just do it. Nothing else could have done this other than the tires, and rotating them to the front was the first thing I tried. They only have 8-9k on them and they're goodyears. Once the rear wheel hubs were done in quite literally 17 minutes with the Milwaukee impact making bolt removal an absolute piece of cake, that was it. I was done. I hate care now... But when I took it in for an alignment, they told me it was within a few percent of perfect and that the repairs looked well done and they asked who in town used Moog parts and Gabriel struts, and the ball joints with the grease fittings.... That was a proud junior mechanic moment!

Going to do pads and rotors next week and perhaps front struts in the near future, This video has saved me hundreds and given me confidence!
