need moral support 700

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Fri Nov 15 08:37 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Well, this big box arrived from Groten yesterday full of the front end stuff I need to overall the wifes 91 740 (boy it needs it) and now she's looking at me with the "when are you going to do this" expression (sure most of you guys know that look). I've stalled about as long as I can. Basically, I'm gona do all the bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, brake pads and struts.

The struts has me sweating a and am wondering if I should chicken out and have someone else do them or forge ahead. These are Borg inserts and I plan to remove the entire strut from the car as I'll have everything pulled apart anyway.. I've read the FAQ a dozen times and think I'm OK with this but after I compress the spring, is it gona be fairly obvious what comes next ( I'm an idiot and do better with pictures than reading text)?. I did some strut work years ago and as I remember it was pretty straight forward. Time is really no object on this job as I'll have the car a week and it'll probably take me that long. Can you guys give me some moral support! Thanks!
