Hi there. Another opportunity for you guys to mock me.
I am planning on installing a rear winch. I have the m998 WINCH MOUNTING PLATE 12469385 REAR 5340-01-485-5962
I assume the rear lower a-arm bolt goes to the the yellow arrows. I don't have much of a shop, and I am old and feeble. I remember when I did the front hitch I used four jacks to get the front lower a-arm bolt off and I almost killed myself doing it. So I can image what I am in for for these two rears.
What is the recommended way to get these two bolts off easily without special humvee tools, without a lift, and without killing myself in the process. Is it possible to rent a set of spring compressors, or maybe I'll buy the right compressor tool if that is the best way. If so, which one? To be honest it does not look like to me there is a lot of room there to mount and compress those springs.
Any tricks for someone like me that does not have a full shop?
Thanks in advance!
