Well, tonight I got the shocks on with no problem. Then I moved onto the steering stabilizer...got the skid plate off no problem.....but couldn't get that damn stabilizer shock pin out of the idler arm. (or whatever the hell that arm is called!) hit it with a hammer, leveraged it with a crowbar....no way...not enough space, and didn't want to do any damage. And, I now see that the shock end and pin are all one piece.....so I can't just abandon the old pin and use the bracket like I was hoping. Oh well, I just left the skid plate off and I'll run it in to a shop next week to let a mechanic with a pitman puller do it.
