The packet is for the sides to slide it into the mouts, the grease is for the bushings. DON'T OVER GREASE THEM AND FOLLOW THE INSTUCTIONS TO THE TEE!!!!!

It will send grease out the sides and will never seal properly.

Lots of WD-40, let it soak for awhile and then use a long pipe over the end of the wrench or something. Leverage is your friend.

You should also try PB Blaster, it's probably the best stuff out there.

Um cut it with a wheel if you're gonna cut it. Its not the cutting it that screws up the spring rate its the heat. So do NOT cut it with a torch, take a wheel to it and keep dunking it in water while ur doing it so it doesnt get too hot.

I found out i had like 10 grade 5 bolts in my garage that are the same length and everything. I just cut the old bolt out and put a brand new one in.

In with the new and out with the old! Not very good pics but its hard to do under the car. The new panhard bar and shocks make so much less noise and it handles better too.
