Top 5 worst A-body repairs/restoration jobs

The easiest way to take froze torsion bars out is to remove the strut nut , ball joint and control arm nut and hit the arm back pushing the torsion bar out .

The steering box or headers drop the K-member

The biggest pain in the *** thing we did was upper bushings in a car that had the engine compartment with fresh paint. All the bolts were froze in the arms so heat was out of the question. Cut off wheel the arms off and then use a combination of tools . Mainly a air chisel and a big hammer . Usually someone that does all their own work makes everything pretty and then comes for upper bushings there is a reason so we charge them by the hour , injury and curse word.

One thing that we ran into was volunteering to install a K-member in a stripped car for a V8 for someone who said he couldn't get the bolts loose with his small ratchet set. Oh they were loose but all the nuts were turning in the frame rail. When we called him in two hours and told him we were done he was surprised. That's when we knew that he knew they were spinning. We charged him double and told him we had a special tool we couldn't show anyone. He was dumb founded.
