Sphinxbccp's Never Ending Blazer Build


Recommended Posts

Well I'm back, actually I've been back for about a month. Just been doing projects around the house and haven't done anything on the blazer, till now...

Put the k&n on, also painted the maf to clean up the engine bay a bit, I have a few more ideas to clean it up more (but that's later)

Also won a contest on Facebook and got some free stuff, which is always nice!

Finally got a compressor and a couple air tools to get me by

(I know... Using non impact sockets... It's temporary)

So I finally started working on the drop

Got the old blocks and shocks out (anyone trying to drop their blazer??)

But now I'm stuck, I can't get the leaf spring bolts out, I got the nuts off, but the bolts won't budge, even with the impact... Any ideas??

Pb blaster or wd 40 should help. Glad to hear your back man. I hope all is going well.

The bolts are siezed in the leaf spring bushing sleeves, I ended up buying a sawsall... I just need to get some time to see if it works now lol

I was getting frustrated so I had to take a break from them and work on something else... Back to the engine compartment I went

More painting...
