Hi there guys,

Anyone has taken one of this rear control arms, I have 2 points out but the one that connects to

the hub is not coming out :D .

I have tried everything, but its not coming out, am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I need to remove, any other bolt im missing?

If anyone is bored today and can give a fellow member a hand for a few beers :) that would be really appreciated. I am in crafers BTW

Cheers.

the hub??????? hmmm...... is it R33?? I have replaced on of these on mycar when i was hit in the rear and pushed into the gutter. there is 3 points where the lower control arm is bolted. the hardest point to get unstuck is where it bolts into the knuckle - it has a tapered shaft on ball joint. you need to pull the split pin out and undo the nut. then what you need is the biggest hammer you have and a centre punch. the tapered rod should have a divet in the middle, place the centre punch in this and belt the crap out of it. this will take time!!!!! dont at any point hit the rod with just the hammer you will ruin the thread. i hope this has been help!!

enjoy!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
