I'm filled with rage anyway.

 

The BFH method always works well for me, just pound the **** out of it. Hahaha. I really only liked poundining on the truck, or some of our construction equipment, but mos def. not on the Audi! It looks as if it might come down to that Yuikio, give it hell.

 

All right Yuikio. Did you finally get the bastard?

 

What you are about to see is 5000 words worth of information....


The third head, the smaller one, is the vertical tie-rod-end bolt. It just broke right in half when I was torquing down everything and preparing to finally set the car back down. Couldn't let me escape that easily, I guess. My car hates me.

My car for the last 2 weeks...

And now...



I never got a picture of the actual adjustable control arms, which seems weird now. Whatever, they're very cool. They adjust. Autosport Werks is going to twist them until they make my wheels do what I want tomorrow, and I'm excited. They work on Porsches and stuff.

 

hahahahhahahah, classic pics. good to see the bolt didnt conquer you. you win, now burn the bolt in gasoline. ooooooo sweet revienge.

 

BEST way I found.
I dont know what the tool is called, but it's got a point at on end an a place to hit a hand sledge on the other. It weighs about 4-5 lbs. Get this and a hand sledge. BEAT THE **** OUT OF IT till it is pushed in about 1/2 inch. Get and air hammer. BINGO, comes out in 15 mins.

Looks like <===|

 

Nice work. Thanks for the update. Hopefully mine will be a bit easier.

 

I've never heard of one being worse than this. I can't imagine how it could be worse than having to drill the bolt out. headshok had to drill his bolt out on one side, IIRC. Drilling doesn't take too terribly long, but you need to decide whether you're going to or not at the outset.

 

haha I was telling you to drill it forever! I even posted a pic of a giant drill.

There was no effin way my bolt was coming out without drilling it...

 

WHat you gonna do with the bolt now, you gonna **** on it, or maybe you could but it one a neckless and wear it, Like a trophe, ANyhow, good to see that the demon's have finly left you alown.
