Default Pulled trailing arms yesterday!

I finished with a grin. After reading all of the forum horror stories about rusted and seized parts, I was pleased with how well it went. I did have a couple of possible pluses. I sprayed everything w/penetrating lube and the car is from Arizona.
Now I am waiting on parts, offset T/A, SS e-brake lines, SS brake lines, the usual stuff. :D

You were lucky. I have a Texas car and still had to sawzall the trailing arm bolts. If I would have bought the better blades first, I would have been done a day earlier than I was. My new trailing arm assemblies from Fastcorvette.com are sitting in my garage waiting to be reinstalled. :smash:

I do feel fortunate. The only difficulty I encountered was w/the brake lines. They were seized and I didn't not feel like messing w/ them so I just cut them off. I will be going w/SS.
