7/8" 1/2" drive Craftsman socket. (Rear springs)

Stay tuned. I've just begun.

My spirit. Two days of soaking the leaf spring hangers and bolts in PBlaster and it still took me an hour to drive out one of the bolts. Damn things have seized to the sleeves in the bushings. I guess 41 years of corrosion will do that.

Hose clamp on one of the cooling lines from the C4 was loose and ended up with about 2qts of ATF all over front passenger wheel well and everything nearby. Made it into a parking lot before the tranny was slipping so much the Bronco wouldn't go. Dad picked me up and I grabbed some tools and ATF and headed back out to fix it.

I hate traffic/other people on the road. Glad no one was seriously hurt in your unfortunate event. Hope you are able to rebuild your rig. If someone did that to me, they would have had my front bumper up their a22 or it would be a monster truck show on the road.

I was taking the front dress off the engine that I am going to be using in my build and 3 of the long water pump/ timing cover bolts broke within 1/8 of a turn.:cry: They didn't even give me a chance.:mad:

dude that sucks, when i went to replace my intake manifold and carb i went to drain the radiator and it wouldnt drain, so i drained it ghetto style and it was all rusted out, so i was like wuuut. and i take the water pump off, its shot, take the timing cover off, its bad too and a super long bolt broke off in the block! all hail 12 hours of not achieving anything but realizing there were more problems than you realized :(

that was in june though.
