end links

Finally got around to installing my new end links from Zcardepot. Bought the kit from them. $20 + shipping. As you can see in the pics I had help. My handy dandy quick grip clamp from H.F. Worked perfect. Was able to do the install without adding any weight to the corners like you read in some of the forums. An hour job total time.

While I was under there I took a look around and things sure are oily under there. I think most of it is coming from my front main! Oh well, guess I'll do that next.

I actually had mine on ramps. Worked pretty well until I needed to compress the suspension just a little. That clamp made quick work of it.

Fat fingers in narrow places

Haha! That's my problem as well. Besides the front seal leaking I also discovered that my aluminum rad has a leak :facepalm:  A tiny one though. Going to call around and see who can fix aluminum rad's. It's only 5 years old. Really doesn't have many miles on it either.

If and when you get to the front seal, It's not a horrible job,  just time consuming.  Pulling the Rad is not too tough, but I've  never liked removing the fan.  Fat fingers in narrow places don't end up very pretty in my case.

that's one of the hardest jobs I have to do to my two Zs.  I hate those 4 nuts on the fan's pulley.  I can't figure out why or what those slots are opened up for?  Never figured a way to get one threaded side to slide on there.  My best so far solution was a 10mm? socket with paper stuffed in it until the nut had barely enough room to fit up inside then used the loaded socket to start the nuts.
