I have a brand new set of Berk HFCs sitting in my garage waiting for install. I plan to do them myself. My car has been garaged for the majority of my ownership. I'm the original owner and it only has 17,000 miles on it (it's an 09). It has only been driven in the rain about 6 times and never in the snow or when the roads were salted. I purchased a long breaker bar, the correct sockets, PB Blaster and an O2 sensor wrench. I've also been told to NOT use an impact wrench. Thanks for the suggestion of using PB Blaster several days in advance. I've never heard of anyone referring to the bolts as "demon bolts" before. Im not exactly looking forward to the install, but i wasnt concerend about it. Should I be worried?

If you search for "demon bolts" on here you'll find mention of it -- the nickname is apt...
It sounds like you have all the tools you need -- it's just really tough to get them to break loose.

Why I waited for the O2 part, the mechanic brought me out and welded another bracket on to hold it better. Used HFC did not come w/ extenders. So far no CEL light just some smell coming into the cabin but its gone now. The car seems louder up front over 3000 rpm and a little deeper. maybe better throttle response too.:driving:

You might be okay then -- the CEL is much more of a likely problem with TP's. If not, picking up some extenders should work. |
