Need help with my nuts

[WesChapman]

What size socket do I need for the big nut on the bottom of the fork looking thingy that connects from the front shock to the lower control arm? Going to attempt changing my springs and shocks this weekend.

Thanks

21mm nut, 19mm or 18(?)mm bolt head, on mine at least anyways.

make sure you borrow a huge pry bar from someone ( 4 or 5 foot long) to pop your clevis back in place.

I like the cargo strap method myself...

Check the Franken lift how to for other tips, I'll give a link if you want!

Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to use the strap method and I have the Franken Lift HOW TO: book marked on my garage computer. I have read through it several times. I'm anticipating many things to go wrong, because any project I do always has many things go wrong.

Use two straps one front one rear that way you can pull them in the right amount. If you are not adding too much extra like top plate, clevis etc its pretty easy. If like me you add everything plus 790 springs it takes some to pull it all together

Just take it one step at a time, lay out everything so its not all in a pile. Start with the right side first, its the easiest to do and you'll gain some confidence

Its not hard at all doing a lift

Gee I'm surprised there weren't more "nut" related jokes.
