both my drivers side bolts were stuck. I tried squirting penetrating fluid. never thought of using a sawzall. good call. I used a slide hammer and my big f-ing hammer. Do you recomend a lubricant or such when reinstalling bolts?

 

Anti-seize lube when reinstalling....good for lugnuts and brake bolts too

 

You aren't going to have to change out those back springs for another 40 years, and any lube you put on there now will be long gone before then. Personally, I am not going to be around then so I don't care. That would make me 103 years old. Ain't gonna happen.

 

I put on some anti-sieze, but like Soarring said, it's really for the next owners sake not mine!

 

Aren't transmissions supposed to be behind the engine?
