I'll do it in my garage for free if you wanna drive to fayetteville. Are your front struts OEM? you'll want to find a place to get an alignment done within a few hundred miles afterwords though. see my post about what a bad alignment can do :

Hey guys. Checking in from Hickory. It's pretty quiet out this way *crickets chirping*

Seen a black Z running around here a few times with "stretched" wheels.

If you're ever out this way, let me know... Coronas are on me and they're always cold!

That's cool about the drifting event in Charlotte, my car should be ready by then and I might be able to make it.

Where have y'all been getting your window tint done in the Raleigh area? Mine needs to be redone soon and it'd be great if someone had a recommendation. Thanks!

use a box end wrench and a bigger hammer.... lol but seriously..... im tied up this weekend or i'd come help you....

Once you break em loose, they come off easily. I know most of the suspension is like 19, 22, and one or two nuts are 24mm.... maybe a 17 also... wrenches are about $10 each from advanced, 4lb hammer is like $15. dont be scared to hold the wrench tight and bang the ish out of it with the hammer. the rich guys may disagree, but thats how I did mine

@SenHR Too bad you aren't closer. I still have my air tools, creeper, etc still in the back of the truck and on the hauler from the trip to ZDayz. Hopefully someone nearby can give you a hand. I can't tell you how much it's worth having an air compressor, impact gun, sockets & a creeper if you're going to be doing work on the Z.

If they're really stuck:

Cheapest option with a good chance of buggering up your bolts/nuts is mpact's suggestion above to go with the wrench and hammer.

Spend a few dollars more and get some vice grips, wd40, and a breaker bar that fits your sockets for a safer way. You can use a hammer with the breaker bar and you'll have less chance of messing up the bolt/nut.

If you have some cash to spend (you mentioned paying someone) and you'll be continuing to do work for yourself, visit your local pawn shop and pick up a used air compressor and impact gun - just make sure that it works before you buy it.
