Thread: Nothing is easy!

I thought installing my new air shocks would be a piece of cake but turned into a piece of cement!Both of the original mounts had to be cut off the mounting bracket, then had to drill out the mounting bracket and use a spacer block that came with the kit!I had sprayed both mounts with Blaster the day before to help with the removal but didn't know the bolts were lok- tited in the threads.Even the threads were not tapped in the center.Whoever installed this last set of shocks sure rigged em up!1 bolt had a 1/2" head and the other had a 9/16" head. The 1/2" broke off just as soon as I put a little pressure on it and the other had been shimmed with some washers that were just giggling around. Ground everything down smooth, re-drilled, and installed all new hardware,spacers and lock washers.Primed and painted any bare metal showing!The day ended just at dark when I had all my air lines run and installed to the T- fitting where you air them up.I am going to break out the compressor and see if we hold pressure just as soon as it warms up a bit this morning!
