I love LaDuke fails (Alero material INSIDE!)

[Alpine]

I’m sorry Bobby and Alero2000, but my mind is on an imaginative trip right now and I must post said thread. :lol

Without further interruption:

I was driving home from work today and I noticed Alero2000’s Olds up on jack stands halfway in LaDuke’s garage. I figure great, they must be working on his turbo setup that they have been babbling about all this time. Awesome.

HOWEVER :rofl

Browsing my facebook and responding to an inbox email, I see this pop up in my news feed after I click send:

Nick Alero Bobby Jetta: Thanks for the help with the springs dude, I’m glad we got at least halfway there. . .

Nick Alero 2 springs are done. . .after over 10 hours!!!

:rofl

Did it really take you monkey-inspired meat whistle blowers over 10 HOURS!!! to install 2 coil over springs? :rofl Even more LOLLIES if it was the rear “axle beam” springs. :rofl

Okay. This can now be discussed. :number1

same here.

with the rear shock mount bolts pointing down, the rear springs/ shocks are a 15 minute job. the only thing that can be a pita is beating the shit out of the knuckles to pull the fronts. i’ve done probably 6 or so of these.

[GD3Skier]

Took me about 2.5 hours to do my shocks/struts and springs, and that was with a trip to Fastenal to get a better nut than the ones they came with.

no beating necessary the spindle spreading tool opens the knuckle right up and my H&R coilover slides right out of the knuckle.

theres really no need for the tool. you just need a sledge, and a prybar to open the knuckle a touch. i don’t use it.
