I think I am in for a fight. I started to prepare to remove axle on 40 today. Going okay until I got ot the bolt on left perch. My impact socket my good long Snapon breaker and 2 foot cheater and still no go. Heat will be on tomorrow. I have a feeling I will need to remove wishbone from the car and leave attached to axle and work on in the open with a rosebud. My question is is the wishbone easy to unbolt from the car. I can't remember if I've ever removed one before.
