watts link removal

[visionmercury]

i got all the sparta/che rear suspention i got the control arms done , my question is how to get the pass side watt link out , and is there a pressure release for the air bags ????

[ntd]

No pressure release I just left the air suspension on jacked up the car(buy the frame not the axle) let it vent some air. Turned the air suspension off lifted the car buy the frame letting the axle hang and used a rag between the air bag and my prybar to make just enough room to remove the bolt

Basically what ntd said. Becareful you don't poke the airbag with any sharp edges. Might help if you have a helper.
What color CA's did you get? Post up some pics when you are done.

I actually posted this on your facebook. Jack the car up to stretch out the bag, then you can slide the bolt past it.

You'll need a large breaker bar and extra leverage to get the big nut off. It's torqued to over 200 ft lbs.

The stud is part of the diff. It doesn't come off.

Interesting...

Anyone have a pic of it without the link attached? I'm working on a wrecked car and I need to see if my stud/swivel point is screwed up. I also need to get a wrench large enough to hold the stud in place so I can remove the nut.

Disregard last. I was able to fix it. PITA and time consuming, but completed.
