Zout, Thank you for the offer, I will make plans to be there. I will try to be there about 7am if I can get my old battered body out of bed at 5am.. Since you said daybreak. Also, is it ok if I bring my gf & kids, and maybe my dog too?? I already set my phone to remind me on Friday the...

Hello 73m819, I read the TM's for the removal and install of the shocks. But my tools are inadequate, and I have not been able to afford yet, to go tool shopping yet. Sometimes after I pay my bills, not much is left of my paycheck. Thank you for the advice.. Good day,

Hello Ralbelt, Thank you for the post, you are exactly correct.. I want to learn. And need to know all the details from beginning to end, before a start a repair job. So I can do it, and get it done without anything going wrong. And I am willing to help people when I am able to, as well...

Hello Heavysteven, No, that is NOT true, I would like to do it myself. So I can learn to work on my 09 myself. I tried with my tools, but they are in adequate. Plus they are extremely tight and some are in tight spots. I just thought it may be helpful if someone was there while I do it...

Hello Matt, Thank you for the post and the offer. My apologies, I was not trying to make a big deal out of it. I tried to get ahold of you, but I was unsuccessful, and I did not want bother you by trying too many times to contact you and make a pest of myself. I will contact you when I am...

re; Atlanta, Ga area request Thanks for the tip. When I am ready to put the shocks on, I will do it that way. But in the tight spot between the frame and body, to get at the top bolts on the rears, did you use a ratchet or open end box wrench? and did you use the same wrench for the top...

re; Atlanta, Ga area request Thanks for the information, I only ask basic questions, because it has been a very long time since I have done any serious auto mechanic work. I have some ratchets, and sockets, but when I got my skinny a$$ under my truck this weekend, my largest socket would...

Kassim, Thanks for the advice, I will duly consider it. But I have never touched a welding rig, so unless I get some professional instruction, I would rather not try it. So I will go with a breaker bar, hand ratchets, sockets, and PB blaster. Good night,

Hi guys, Thanks for the tips, on the pipe in picture three, how long should the pipe be? I will try to get a pipe for a breaker bar, or look at one at autozone. Also, if I chose to heat those nuts, what do I use to heat them? I would rather not be blowing flames around the fuel tank...

Hi Guys, Okay, I have had the nuts on the shocks soaking in PB blaster since yesterday. I am going to try to tackle the issue today.. (keyword is try..) But is there any way, to get at that Drivers & passenger side rear shock absorber nuts, WITHOUT having to cut them off? Because of the...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the tips, I will look into borrowing a breaker bar and getting some PB blaster, at the parts store I got the shocks at. I do NOT want to use heat though, at least on the rears, since the gas tank is right there. I would like to live thru this experience, LOL.. If I...

Carpenter, Oh!! Okay, I got ya.. I will see what I can do, when I get it done. I read the TM on the process, and it is simple enough. The TM says to remove the old nuts and bolts, then the old shock, then install the new shock with new nuts and bolts. Nothing to complicated. The most...

Hello Carpenter, Thank you for the reply and the offer. I understand. And you want pics of what? of the new shocks after I install them? ChevyCUCV, 19? I do not think I have one of those. I tried a 7/8" socket on the bottom nuts on both rear shocks, it fit fine, but it was too small for...

Hi guys, Do any of you have a portable air wrench and the proper sockets I can borrow,Just long enough for me to remove the old shocks, and install the new shocks I just got for my M1009. I finally bought a set of four shocks. And the tools I have are not adequate to do the job. Any...
