Well I think not having the right sockets would do it. You don't have any tools??

I had sockets that worked, but then I couldn't break the bolts. Some sockets weren't deep enough though. It was a compounded problem, couldn't use the breaker bar since it was 1/2 drive. I have some tools, but not enough, and didn't want to drive back and forth to borrow them. My neighbor owns a company that works on trucks, so I'm going over there next weekend to use the man-tools.

Sucks when you don't have all the tools you need. If you were closer I'd let you borrow some or come by to even impact that sucker off.

Thanks for the offer.
I am in Dallas/North Dallas I guess. Just north of Highland Park. I live really close to the Tollway and 75 though so Plano is only minutes away. I hope my neighbor's business/shop has loads of stuff though, sounds like it should be legit.

Thanks Jason for the ride, that is some crazy stuff. Had a good time. Wish I could have stayed to see who got their licenses, but I was beat.

morning..........

Super tired here! had a blast! Phiooz had some good runs with me........for the first time i was able to complete a course and do all the transitions......The Nismo diff was the key......don't know why i waited so long to buy an LSD.

On another note, I BARELY avoided an car accident on the way to work this morning........dear lord it was close!! Mustang in the fast lane wasn't paying attention when the rest of the traffic in the fast lane only started braking. Mustang braked hard and swerved right, went across three lanes (missing everyone), nearly hitting me.

Swerved back and clipped the rear of another car, similar to a PIT maneuver, and that car came flying in front of me......I braked, and swerved and went in-between them as the mustang spin (few 360's).....then from the 2nd car - hitting a 3rd and 4th, i was forced to pull right, and went off onto the median......crossed the grass and went to the access road for safety......

To be honest, I'm almost ashamed to say, but i had to pull over on the access road and take a breathe before i could continue on to work........i got really shaken up.....It was very very close! ..................I saw a few cars pull over and start helping, so i left......

Thanks......I have been through situations like that before, but this one was worst........really freaked me out.......too close in comparison to others i guess......

of all times, i just happen to hear the mustang brake (tires squeal) if it wasn't for that, I'm certain it would have hit me when it came across the three lanes...
