They'll be amazing....unless you have no cooking skills at all. LOL
They are very easy to make.

I have some slight extended knowledge as a benefactor! :lol: Do you recommend using olive oil or can I use the same thing I use always; cooking spray that's 0 everything?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I use olive because thats just what I prefer. You can use cooking spray if you like. Be careful not to get the pan toooo hot or the spray will evaporate and you'll scorch the slices. Otherwise, everything should be fine.

I'll use olive oil for this first time then. I'm excited to see how tasty they are! :lol:

I think you'll enjoy them. Remember, when using olive oils for cooking, use the darker stuff that says "for sauteing and grilling". If you use virgin/extra virgin olive oil (which is lighter, for salads/dressings) it will smoke at a lower temperature and ruin everything. Canola oil which is very healthy, is a good oil to use. If I have neither, I use a small amount of peanut oil.

Guys i need help!!!!

I cant get the damn endlinks off!!!! Its a circular pattern on these ones. The news ones i bought has a hexagonal design size 14 key. I went to home depot and got a replacement for the rear endlink but now i cant get these off. Any suggestions??

These are the new ones for the front:

Is the suspension loaded? It might be a lot easier if it is. What are you using to turn it? Can you get some kinda cheater bar leverage going on somehow? Use some pentrating oil. If that doesn't work after a good soak, wipe it clean and try a torch if you're brave. Lol

What do you mean by loaded suspension? Im using a size 14 key but that didnt work. Tried pliers. Nothing. I tried leverage with the pliers and still wont budge. I used a sh** ton of wd40. I dont have a torch lol.

You need PB Blaster and need to spray it and let it soak overnight. That stuff rocks!

I mean, do you have the car jacked up when you are trying to do this, or are you laying under the rear end? (this is your rear end links, right?) Suspension loaded means the suspension is under compression by the weight of the car on the ground, OR if you have the car up on jack stands and laying underneath, you can load the suspension by pushing up under the knuckle (behind the rotor) with a jack and block of wood, thereby compressing it of course.

Would you happen to have a size 14 key on a socket and an impact gun? If not, try to find a pipe to put on the key for more leverage.

Penetrating oil is soooo much better than WD40. Like JJ said, soak it. For stuff like that, I spray it down real good and then wrap it in a piece of cloth and tie it in place. Then soak the cloth.

If all else fails, cut that shit off with a dremel, t-grinder, saws-all, hack saw, you name it....

You crack me up dude.

You crack me up dude.

Last time i did it with the wheel on. Tell me if this will work:

Do you have a jack free anywhere that you can use? Pump the jack up in the air. Turn that block of wood sideways*** or that's gonna slip out. Put wood on jack. Jack wood up into the bottom of the knuckle, behind the rotor, on the bottom of the control arm. Don't bend anything important. Continue jacking that up until your spring and shock are somewhat compressed, then try to bust that shit loose again. Make sure everything is stable, I don't want you to get yourself crushed.

Otherwise, put the car on the ground and slide under the rear end of the car and try to turn it. Idk if you will fit or not, but I'm pretty sure you have long monkey arms.

***I'm afraid that if you lower the car onto that block of wood standing straight up, it might kick out and the car will fall.
