Lol, I do ok. And I don't have any kids, ex-wives, or bad habits (cept a few beers once in awhile, wellll maybe a lot of beers once in awhile).

Thanks for posting that removal tool 157DB.... I kept thinking last night, if I just had a c-clamp type device it would work perfectly and that's what this thing looks like. I'll run down to the parts store and see if I can rent one.

Ali - you should be happy I'm going through all this BS learning how to dissassemble/reassemble this car. We'll be doing yours soon, right?

Sure did.
But only on cars that belong to ********...

BTW, that tool doesn't fit on some cars.

I wish I lived in Orlando because I'm thinking about a custom paint job on the car at this point. I need a great paint/bodyman like Pascal really bad.

Come on out here brother. There's massive hail damage EVERY year! And the people drive like **** so the body shops are always full. My co-worker had to wait 3 weeks just to get his car into a bodyshop after the late April hailstorm and they're keeping it three weeks to repair. I'm sure you would do quite well .

I wouldn't think that much collision... mostly folks with european cars, door dings, rocks thrown from trucks, hail damage etc etc. Lots of wanna-be (and real) californians here in Austin. It's the beverly hills of texas.

And the secession is rolling... if too many more californians move here .

Let's do it. I'm desperately needing to find out how to align the front toe. Camber's in the bag... idiot alignment shop wanted to charge me $200 to have the camber adjusted something I can do with a gauge!!

I need a toe gauge which I think summit sells.

So I am to ascertain that you sir, after determining
that the customer is an *******, continue to have
him as a customer just to bend him over and get even?
Would you not think it would be better to just send
them on down the road?

Ask and thou shall receive.
The Ford way to do front end alignment work.
Front toe can be set with a FatMax tape measurer, good tires with crisp tread patterns
and some knowhow.....
